Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
2 cups store-bought frozen grated coconut, thawed
11/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk, well shaken
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 deep-dish unbaked 9-inch pie shell, homemade or purchased

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer and using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, coconut, sugar, buttermilk, butter, flour and vanilla until well combined. Your mixture may look curdled but keep beating on high until it comes together (it will still be chunky from the coconut).
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell. Bake until lightly browned, the center of the pie doesn't jiggle when shaken lightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but not covered with custard, 45 to 50 minutes. The coconut will rise to form a top crust during baking. Set the pie on a wire rack and cool completely before serving, about 1 hour.

FRENCH COCONUT PIE

Joyce in Georgia, an "Everyday Food" radio show listener, shared a recipe for French coconut pie on air. Readers have been asking about it, so here's the recipe. Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 stick margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients and pour into an unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower heat and cook 30 to 40 minutes more, until pie is lightly browned and appears firm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut has a more intense flavor and aroma than dried or shredded coconut. If you can, try to find a young coconut and use the water and meat for the pie.
  • Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant. You can toast the coconut in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is a key ingredient in coconut pie, so it's important to use a good quality extract. Look for an extract that is made with real vanilla beans.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking the pie will make it dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

French coconut pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
