How To Make Coconut Custard Pie

Dense and thick, this baked coconut custard pie layers shredded sweetened coconut and creamy filling over a crumbly-baked crust.

Prep: 1 hr 20 mins

Cook: 1 hr

Total: 2 hrs 20 mins

Serves:

Ingredients

dough, for single-crust deep-dish pie
1 cup coconut, sweetened, shredded, chopped, plus more toasted for optional topping
3 large eggs, beaten
2½ cups milk, 2%
⅔ cup sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a ⅛-inch-thick circle; transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim and flute edge.
Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle coconut over crust; set aside. Reduce oven setting to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla and salt. Pour over coconut; sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. If desired, top with toasted coconut to serve.
Serve and enjoy.
