Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup coconut milk
3 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade or refrigerated pie crust, prepare it in a 9-inch pie dish according to the package or recipe instructions.
Spread the shredded coconut evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and coconut milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the shredded coconut in the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes, if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence.
Slice and serve this Coconut Custard Pie to delight your taste buds with its creamy texture and tropical twist. The combination of coconut and custard creates a harmonious balance that is simply irresistible.
