Description
Is there anything more comforting than a slice of Crustless Coconut Pie? It’s like a warm hug on a plate, ready to brighten your day whether you’re winding down after a long week, impressing friends at a casual get-together, or simply indulging in a little mid-week treat. This delightful dessert is not just easy to whip up but also perfect for those of us who might be experiencing a love affair with coconut. So, let’s get right into it—you deserve this sweet escape!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this coconut dream:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of shredded coconut (sweetened, if you prefer extra sweetness!)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trust me, you want your oven ready to go for this beauty!
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and baking powder. Give it a little whisk so that they’re evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Next, pour in the milk, and add the eggs one by one, mixing it all together until smooth. Then, stir in that luscious vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Incorporate Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut. This is where the magic happens as it starts to look like a tropical beach vacation in your bowl!
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased pie dish (no crust required, remember?). Slide it into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool before serving; it will set beautifully as it cools down. Dollop some whipped cream on top if you’re feeling fancy (or just because)!
Notes
Don’t fret if your pie appears a bit wobbly when you take it out of the oven. As it cools, it’ll achieve that perfect custardy texture. And if you really want to jazz it up, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top right before serving. Oh, and if you ever find yourself with leftover pie (which is rare, I know!), simply store it in the fridge—if it lasts that long!
