Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish and pour the coconut filling into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
