How To Make coconut custard pie

  • 1
    To make the pie crust, pulse the flour, salt, and butter several times in a food processor until small crumbs form. Add 2 tablespoons of water and pulse. Add 1 tablespoon water at a time and pulse until the dough holds when pinched together.
  • 2
    Pat the dough out into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 2 hours up to overnight.
  • 3
    Gently roll the pie dough from the center out. Use the rolling pin to move the pie dough and tuck it into the pie pan. Trim the dough to an inch over the side, tuck it in along the edge, and flute it. Place the pie pan in the fridge.
  • 4
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 5
    Whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir or whisk in the coconut. Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Load it on the middle rack in the center of the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned and set.
  • 6
    Cool for 1-2 hours before slicing it. If desired, toast ½-1 cup of coconut and sprinkle it on the top of the baked pie. Refrigerate after 2 hours of cool down time.
