Ingredients

You don't need a lot of ingredients to make this pie recipe. In fact, I'd bet you already have some of them on hand!

• 9-inch pie shell - You can use a homemade pie crust or your favorite store-bought brand.
• Eggs - You can't have a custard pie without eggs and in this recipe, you will need four!
• Granulated sugar - Used as the sweetener for the pie.
• Vanilla extract - Helps to enhance all the flavors.
• Coconut extract - Adds extra coconut flavor.
• Half and Half - Provides a rich flavor and creaminess to the pie.
• Coconut - You will need shredded sweetened coconut flakes.
• Whipped cream - Every dessert is better with a dollop of whipped cream on top!

How To Make This Coconut Custard Pie Recipe

To make this pie, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

The next step is to make the custard. Start by whisking the eggs and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Then add in the vanilla, coconut extract, and half and half, and whisk until combined.

Stir in 1¼ cups of shredded coconut. Then pour the filling into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining coconut.

Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes, until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean.

How To Store

Allow to cool. Then cover any leftover pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. After 2 days the crust tends to get soggy.

Recipe Tips

• I recommend placing the pie plate on a rimmed cookie sheet or a pie drip catcher (affiliate link) to catch any spills.
• Reserving some coconut to sprinkle on the top is optional. I like to sprinkle some on top so it gets toasty.
• If you are using a frozen pie crust you will need to allow extra time to take it out of the freezer to defrost at room temperature before starting the pie filling.
• If using a frozen pie crust make sure you allow time for it to thaw before starting the filling.
• As the pie cools it will become more firm. This is typical for custard pies.
