Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (85g) sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
Liquid Base:
- 1 ¾ cups (415ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish with a thin layer of butter.
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly while preparing other ingredients.
- Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly until well combined.
- Add ¾ cup granulated sugar to the eggs and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes light and frothy.
- Pour the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture and blend until smooth.
- Incorporate ½ cup all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, whisking until no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour 1 ¾ cups whole milk into the batter, stirring continuously.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until fully integrated.
- Gently fold 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut into the liquid batter using a spatula.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pie dish, tapping the dish to eliminate air bubbles.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350°F until the center sets and the top turns golden brown.
- Check doneness by inserting a knife – it should come out mostly clean.
- Remove from oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing to achieve clean, defined layers.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure smoother batter blending and more even custard texture.
- Sifting flour prevents lumps, creating a silky-smooth custard consistency that sets beautifully.
- Coconut lovers can enhance flavor by toasting shredded coconut before adding to the batter for deeper, nuttier notes.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free blend, maintaining the same measurement.
