Ingredients
Pie Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease a 9-10 inch pie dish thoroughly to prevent the pie from sticking after baking.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the eggs, unsalted butter, all purpose flour, milk, granulated sugar, shredded coconut, and vanilla bean paste into a blender. Blend on high for about 15 seconds until all ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth batter.
- Bake the Pie: Pour the blended mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the center of the pie is almost completely set and the top is nicely browned.
- Cool and Chill: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to let it set properly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs and butter are at room temperature for better blending and texture.
- Do not overbake the pie; the center should still have a slight jiggle as it will firm up while cooling.
- Vanilla bean paste can be substituted with vanilla extract if not available, though the flavor will be less intense.
- This pie is best served chilled and can be topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet version, adjusting sugar accordingly.
