Crustless Coconut Pie
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Two cups milk
- Four eggs
- Two teaspoons vanilla extract
- Two cups shredded sweetened coconut
Directions
- 1
Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). It’s crucial to begin with an adequately preheated oven to ensure even baking.
- 2
Generously grease a 9-inch pie pan. This step is essential for easy removal of the pie after baking, preventing sticking or tearing.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir well until these ingredients are blended perfectly, ensuring a fine, consistent texture.
- 4
Add 2 cups of milk, 4 beaten eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to your dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, velvety batter free of lumps. Make sure to evenly distribute the ingredients to avoid clumping and ensure a uniform texture throughout the pie.
- 5
Gently fold in 2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut. Stir until well combined, allowing the coconut to evenly infuse the mixture. As you stir, take note of the aromatic blend of vanilla and coconut—it’s a preview of the delightful aroma your pie will have once baked.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Bake until the pie is golden brown and puffed up, ensuring a set center.
- 7
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The pie will settle and firm up as it cools, making it easier to slice. Enjoy the rich, coconut-infused aroma that fills your kitchen!

This easy crustless coconut pie stands out by delivering all the rich, tropical flavor you crave without the fuss of preparing a traditional crust.

Prepare your palate for a truly delightful experience with this easy crustless coconut pie. Each forkful is soft, moist, and wonderfully creamy, offering a delicate texture that genuinely melts in your mouth. The star of the show, shredded sweetened coconut, infuses every bite with a sweet, tropical essence, while the simple base of milk, eggs, flour, and vanilla creates a comforting, custard-like consistency. It's a dessert that feels both indulgent and effortlessly made, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
One of the joys of this coconut pie is its adaptability. For those who enjoy a richer base, consider using whole milk or even a combination of milk and a touch of heavy cream. While sweetened coconut provides ample flavor, if you prefer less sweetness, you could use unsweetened shredded coconut and adjust the sugar slightly to taste. A small pinch of nutmeg or a hint of almond extract could also introduce interesting nuances to the classic vanilla and coconut pairing, allowing you to tailor this easy recipe to your personal preferences.
This versatile coconut pie is perfect for a casual weeknight treat, a celebratory gathering, or a potluck where you want to impress without stress. Serve it chilled, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, for an extra touch of elegance.
