This French Coconut Pie is a rich, buttery, and sweet dessert filled with shredded coconut and baked in a flaky pie crust. It’s easy to make and perfect for coconut lovers, offering a delicious custard-like texture with a golden, toasted top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Make the Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth.
  2. Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

3. Assemble the Pie

  1. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. Pour the coconut filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.

4. Bake the Pie

  1. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  2. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil halfway through baking.

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
  2. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired.
