👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges.

2. Make the Custard Filling

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add sugar, flour, and salt. Mix until smooth. Then add milk, melted butter, vanilla, and (optional) coconut extract. Stir in shredded coconut.

3. Pour & Bake

Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly.

4. Cool & Serve

Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature.
