French Coconut Pie

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition.
3. Stir in the flour, milk, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut until evenly mixed.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 4: Bake

1. Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
2. Check the pie around the 30-minute mark—if the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before slicing.
2. Serve plain, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
