Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup self-rising flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups milk, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk in the self-rising flour and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring to form a thin batter.
- Fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is just set.
- Allow the pie to cool completely to let the layers form before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use coconut extract instead of vanilla for extra coconut flavor.
- Replace half the milk with coconut milk for added richness.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
- Let the pie cool fully to allow the magic layers to set.
- The pie tastes great both chilled and slightly warmed.
