How to Make Butter Coconut Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and carefully remove the parchment paper and weights.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  4. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  6. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
