Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.

Step 5

Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Step 6

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. The pie will form its own crust along the edges as it cools.

Step 7

Optionally, garnish the top with a light dusting of nutmeg before serving.

Step 8

Slice, serve, and enjoy your creamy coconut pie either at room temperature or chilled!
