Coconut Pie

By Addie

Watching my mother cook from scratch, I hardly knew that anything was available "pre-made" until I'd left home. One of Mom's best desserts is her creamy old-fashioned coconut pie. A rich slice is true comfort food. -Mary McGuire, Graham, North Carolina

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup flaked coconut
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, coconut, eggs, flour, butter and vanilla. Pour into pie shell.


Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings

What a delicious pie! LOVED every bite of it :) And so did my family. Definitely a keeper

Thanks for the beautiful recipe! I love coconut pie, so this is a very welcome addition to my recipe box (Plus, it uses stuff I always have on hand!)

I made this pie for Sunday lunch today for my family. It was perfect! I wouldn't change a thing. It was just like my mother used to make.
