Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 1.75 cup sweetened shredded coconut, divided toast most; save some for garnish
- 3 large eggs
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 1.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp almond extract optional
- 1 cup whipped cream for serving, optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Set the unbaked pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Toast 1 1/2 cups coconut on a baking sheet for 6–8 minutes, stirring once, until golden. Let cool.
- Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl until slightly pale and foamy.
- Whisk in flour and salt until no dry spots remain.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Stir in melted butter, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Fold in the cooled toasted coconut, reserving 1/4 cup coconut for garnish.
- Pour the custard into the pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a gentle wobble. Shield crust if browning quickly.
- Cool completely, 2 hours. Top with reserved coconut and whipped cream before slicing.
Notes
Variation: Swap 1/4 cup of the milk with canned coconut milk for extra coconut richness, or add a splash of dark rum. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 3 days; garnish just before serving to keep the topping crisp.
