Old Fashioned Coconut Pie
Hi everyone! I have a delightful and nutty dessert to share with you that has been a part of my family history for many years - Old Fashioned Coconut Pie. The pie's crust is warm and made with butter, the filling is creamy, and the coconut is toasted. It's a perfect sweet treat for special occasions or just for a relaxing day. Let's collect the necessary ingredients and start baking this pie!
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- ¾ cup sugar.
- 9 inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade.
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted.
- 3 eggs.
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Instructions
- Begin by warming the oven to 350°F.
- Cover the base of the pie crust with a layer of shredded coconut.
- In this step, use a large bowl to mix the sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract together until they are fully blended.
- As you add the milk, keep the mixture in motion by stirring.
- Layer the mixture into the pie crust, and then finish with a generous sprinkle of coconut.
- Bake the pie in the oven until the filling is firm and the crust has achieved a golden brown color, for a total of 35-40 minutes.
- Give the pie adequate time to chill before presenting it as a finished dish.
