Description
A delightful coconut pie with a rich filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups sweetened flaked coconut (toasted or untoasted)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature + beaten)
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup salted butter (melted + completely cooled)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked 9-inch frozen pie shell
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread the coconut into one even layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, stirring a few times so that the coconut browns evenly. Once the coconut is lightly browned, remove it from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, and coconut. Pour this mixture into the pie shell.
- Carefully transfer the pie into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until set and golden brown. If the edges begin to brown too quickly, lightly cover them with tin foil.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing. The pie can be served at room temperature, cold, or slightly warm.
Notes
- This recipe can be made with either toasted or untoasted coconut depending on your preference.
