Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 12 oz can water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 3/4 cups shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl (like a Pampered Chef batter bowl), combine all ingredients except the coconut.
- Microwave on high for 4 minutes, then remove and whisk thoroughly.
- Stir in the shredded coconut and microwave again for 3-4 minutes.
- After microwaving, stir again to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once thickened to your liking, pour the mixture into two pre-baked pie crusts.
- Prepare meringue and spread it evenly over the pies, then sprinkle a handful of coconut on top.
- Place the pies in the oven at 375°F and bake until the meringue is golden brown. Note: Baking ensures the meringue cooks through, unlike broiling, which only browns the top.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can microwave it a little longer until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Broiling the meringue might brown it without fully cooking it. Baking at 375°F ensures it’s cooked from the bottom, avoiding slimy egg whites.
