My Old Fashioned Coconut Custard Pie Recipe is a delicious super creamy pie filled with yummy coconut flavor. One of my easiest pies that are always requested by family and friends. There is triple coconut flavor from the cream of coconut (which is actually creamless), coconut extract and shredded coconut! The perfect amount of coconut without being too sweet. Homemade Coconut Pie is so easy to make, you will never want a store bought pie again!#PiDay

I have been planning a recipe for today which is #PiDay for some time. I had a pie in mind. I was chatting with my son, who’s here for a visit from California. He insisted I share this recipe for Old Fashioned Coconut Custard Pie! His favorite dessert and I think he picked an awesome recipe! Spot on amazing and delicious!

Cooking is a love from a small age. In the past, I have always baked from recipes! My youngest, Dee is an awesome baker and has inspired me to get courageous and create. This Old Fashioned Coconut Custard Pie is one that I proud to call my own! I have made this countless times and worked on the flavors. My kids have loved being taste testers. Sort of like the Italian Rainbow Cookies and Pecan Crescent Cookies! The family enjoyed those experiments a lot!

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.

I have been thinking, how long have I been making this coconut pie, I wish my math was wrong but it’s not at least 30 years. I wish I could tell you I came out of the womb with this pie on my belly, lol! However, to be positive, there is a reason why this is such a popular pie with family and friends. I do hope you take a few minutes to make it.  I have a flaky crust which I will share but you can use store-bought. There is no judging here!

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch buttery flaky pie crust, or store bought crust
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 cup cream of coconut ie Coco Lopez
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pure coconut extract
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the pie crust in the 9-inch pie plate or use a store made pie crust.

  2. In a blender, combine milk, cream of coconut, shredded coconut, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and coconut. Blend for about 3 minutes.  Add to the prepared flaky pie crust. 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. As the pie rests, the center continues to cook.

  1. In a large bowl, combine milk, cream of coconut, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and coconut. Blend for about 3 minutes. Add the coconut mixture to the prepared flaky pie crust. 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. As the pie rests, the center continues to cook.  

  2. Once the pie is cooked. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Let cool completely. Can be stored 2 days wrapped in the fridge. Serve and enjoy. I add no cream or any decorations as this pie is awesome on its own and needs nor further sweets.  Feel free to add whip cream if you feel it.
