Ingredients
Pie Ingredients
- 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Original Bisquick mix
- ¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pie Plate: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the pie doesn’t stick during baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked coconut, sugar, Bisquick mix, softened butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Use a handheld mixer or a whisk to blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Mixture Into Pie Plate: Pour the blended coconut custard mixture into the prepared pie plate evenly, spreading gently to fill the plate.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-55 minutes. The pie is done when the top turns golden brown and a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps the custard to set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
Notes
- Make sure the pie is fully cooled before slicing for best texture.
- You can substitute margarine with butter for a richer flavor.
- If you prefer, light coconut flakes can be used for a less chewy texture.
- Serve with whipped cream or fresh fruit to enhance the dessert experience.
- This recipe is best served within 2 days for maximum freshness.
