Coconut Magic Custard Pie

This Coconut Magic Custard Pie is a creamy, self-layering dessert where one simple batter bakes into three layers: a soft base, a rich custard center, and a golden coconut topping. Easy to make, yet impressive enough for any occasion.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth and lightly frothy.
  3. Pour in melted butter, self-rising flour, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the batter 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. Let the pie cool completely. As it rests, the layers will set and become more distinct. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast half of the coconut before adding to the batter. This pie is best served chilled after a few hours in the fridge, which enhances the custard texture. Pair with whipped cream or fresh berries for a refreshing touch.
