Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. Whisk the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
Add sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt, whisking until smooth.
Gradually add the flour, mixing well to avoid lumps.
Slowly whisk in the milk until the batter is thin and silky.
3. Add the Coconut
Stir in the shredded coconut, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Bake the Magic
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set (it should jiggle slightly when shaken).
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool completely. As it rests, the custard layers will firm up and the flavors will deepen. Slice, serve, and enjoy plain—or with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for the Best Results
Don’t overbake: The pie should be creamy, not dry. Remove it from the oven as soon as the center is barely set.
Chill before slicing: For neat slices, refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving.
Make it tropical: Add a splash of coconut extract or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.
