Pie Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pie plate: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie plate to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk these together thoroughly to ensure an even blend and break up any lumps.
- Add milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking the mixture. This helps create a smooth, lump-free custard base.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk again vigorously until everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Stir in shredded coconut: Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, distributing it evenly through the custard mixture for texture and flavor.
- Pour into prepared pie plate: Transfer the coconut custard mixture into the greased pie plate, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Bake until the top turns a golden brown color and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
Notes
- Make sure to whisk the flour and milk slowly to avoid lumps in the custard.
- Use sweetened shredded coconut for the best flavor and moisture balance.
- The pie should be allowed to cool slightly before serving to set properly.
- You can optionally garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and presentation.
