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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie plate and set it aside to prepare the baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk these together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry components.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking, creating a smooth batter free of lumps.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Fold in Coconut: Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut, evenly incorporating it into the custard mixture for texture and flavor.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pie plate, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the pie is set.
Notes
- Make sure to use shredded sweetened coconut for the best texture and flavor.
- Check the pie around 55 minutes to avoid over-baking, which could dry out the custard.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow it to set properly.
- This pie is crustless, making it simpler and lower in carbs than traditional pies.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
