Description
Crustless Coconut Pie is a simple and delicious dessert that forms its own light crust while baking, filled with rich coconut flavor and perfect served warm or chilled.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (cooled)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream or additional coconut flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or extra coconut flakes, if desired.
Notes
- This pie creates a light crust as it bakes—no need for a separate pie crust.
- Use unsweetened coconut if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
- Great for making ahead and serving at gatherings or potlucks.
