A delicious coconut custard pie filled with coconut flavor and not too sweet. Super easy to prepare using coconut cream, milk, coconut extract, coconut flakes, and a flaky pastry shell. One of my most popular requested recipes.
How to make Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie in a Blender
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare the pie crust in the 9-inch pie plate or use a store-made pie crust.
In a blender, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup cream of coconut, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup white sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Blend for about 3 minutes.
Pour into the prepared flaky pie crust. Place the pie on a cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. At 35 minutes, check the center of the 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.

Notes
Note 1: Use 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and ½ cup sugar. If using unsweetened shredded coconut, increase sugar to 1 cup.
Note 2: I have received many questions asking how to tell if the pie is done baking. I use the jiggle test if the center of the pie only slightly jiggles, the pie is done.
