FAQs on Coconut Custard Pie:
Can Coconut Custard Pie be frozen?
As much as I love the ability to make ahead many recipes. Custard Pies do not freeze well. As they defrost, they tend to get watery. Since it is an easy pie filling, it does not affect a lot. You can freeze the homemade flaky pie crust which can always reduce prep time.
How long can coconut custard pie or any custard pie be kept in the fridge?
This coconut custard pie and any other custard pie I have made stays fresh for 2-3 days wrapped well in the fridge.
What is the difference between coconut custard and coconut cream pie?
Coconut custard pie is usually milk based and coconut cream has heavy cream as an ingredient. My coconut custard pie takes the best of both, coconut cream and milk make an amazing pie filling.
How can you tell when the pie is done?
Use the jiggle test, when you gently move the pie, the center should just slightly move, not jiggle a lot and your pie is done baking.
Is coconut custard pie best served cold or warm?
Coconut Custard Pie can be served either cold or warm. Personally, I love it cold!
I have been thinking, how long have I been making this coconut pie, I wish my math was wrong but it’s at least 30 years. I wish I could tell you I came out of the womb making this pie, haha!
However, to be positive, this is such a popular pie with my family and friends. It is one of my most requested pies and it’s really easy to make!
I have a homemade flaky pie crust, that is so flaky and delicious. I make a few at a time and freeze the crusts for another day.
Please feel free, if time is an issue to use a store made pie crust, no judging here, ever! We all have busy lives and adjustments are needed.
If I am in a time crunch. I’d rather make a healthy under 30 minutes meal than make a pie crust. It’s all about moderation.

Place the pie on a cookie sheet. Bake for 45 minutes. At 35 minutes, check the center of pie. You do not want to over bake. Pie is done when the center is wobbly.
