Instructions
Making Coconut Pie is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the pie bakes evenly.
2. Prepare Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour.
4. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the sugar and flour mixture until fully combined.
5. Mix in Coconut Milk: Gradually stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract.
6. Add Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut until well distributed in the mixture.
7. Pour Mixture: Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared pie crust.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes. The center should be set and slightly jiggly.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. This helps it firm up.
10. Chill (Optional): For a cooler dessert, refrigerate the pie for an hour before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll have a stunning Coconut Pie that everyone will love.
