Ingredients
  

  • 1 (9-inch) Pie Crust (pre-baked)
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg or Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preparation:
    Before you start mixing ingredients, it’s essential to prepare your workspace and materials:
    Preheat the Oven: Adjust your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking.
    Prepare the Crust: For a store-bought crust, follow the instructions on the package to pre-bake it if required. If making your own, roll it out evenly in a 9-inch pie pan and bake for about 10 minutes to prevent sogginess. Allow the crust to cool.
  • Making the Custard Filling:
    The custard filling is the heart of this pie. Follow these steps to ensure it’s smooth, creamy, and perfectly flavored:
    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This step is crucial for a smooth texture.
    Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is well-blended.
    Incorporate Coconut Milk: Slowly add the coconut milk while stirring continuously. This helps create a creamy consistency without lumps.
    Fold in Shredded Coconut: Use a spatula to gently fold in the shredded coconut, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
  • Assembling and Baking the Pie:
    Pour the Filling: Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pre-baked crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
    Add a Spice Topper: Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon on top for an extra layer of flavor.
    Bake: Transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Check for doneness by gently shaking the pie; the edges should be set, and the center should have a slight jiggle.
    Cool: Let the pie cool at room temperature before refrigerating. Cooling helps the custard set and makes slicing easier.
