Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1.0 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.0 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.0 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1.0 cups Buttermilk
• 2.0 teaspoons Lime zest (from about 2 limes)
• 0.25 cups Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1.0 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie shell in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and well combined.

Step 4

Add the flour to the egg mixture and whisk until no lumps remain.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the melted butter, followed by the buttermilk, lime zest, lime juice, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the filling is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust, spreading evenly.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center. The top should be lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set further.

Step 9

Slice and serve the pie as is, or garnish with additional lime zest, whipped cream, or toasted coconut.
