Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or a non-stick spray.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly frothy.
4. Stir in the melted butter, flour, milk, vanilla, and salt, blending until the mixture is completely combined.
5. Fold in the shredded coconut so it’s evenly spread throughout the batter.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the pie to cool fully before slicing. It will set as it cools, forming a beautiful layered custard texture.
