  • 🍽️ Perfect for any occasion—holidays, potlucks, or tea time

🥧 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg or cinnamon (for a warm twist)

👨‍🍳 How to Make Coconut Pie

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded coconut.

Step 3: Assemble

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. If desired, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Step 5: Cool & Chill

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
