Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Shredded coconut
- 2 cups Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter, and let it cool slightly to prevent curdling the eggs.
Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the butter. Beat together with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the salt, then gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix until the batter is lump-free and silky.
Fold in the shredded coconut evenly, ensuring it’s distributed throughout the batter.
Finally, pour in the milk. Stir gently to combine; the batter will be very runny, and this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the surface as needed.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack to room temperature. During cooling, the pie will set further, forming its wonderful layers—crust, custard, and coconut top.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
