Ingredients

Scale

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 cups milk, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Optional: powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dish

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Whisk in flour and salt until fully incorporated and lump-free.

Step 4: Add Milk and Coconut

Slowly whisk in the milk until the batter is very thin and smooth. Stir in the shredded coconut evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is just set with a slight jiggle. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Batter will be very thin—this is normal.
Do not overbake or the custard may become rubbery.
Layers form as the pie cools and sets.

Let the pie cool fully before cutting for clean slices.
