Ingredients
-
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
-
4 large eggs
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
½ cup self-rising flour
-
2 cups whole milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
-
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9-inch pie dish generously with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly frothy.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients
-
Stir in the melted butter, self-rising flour, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
4. Add the Coconut
-
Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Pour and Bake
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve
-
Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature.
-
The layers will firm up as it cools — slice and serve when set.
Notes
-
The pie may appear slightly jiggly when you take it out — that’s okay! It will continue to firm as it cools.
-
Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the layers to fully develop.
-
This dessert is best served chilled or at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
