How to Make Buttermilk Coconut Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Toast 1 cup of shredded coconut on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  3. Fit unbaked pie crust into a 10-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Flute edges as desired. (Alternatively, use two 8-inch pie plates).
  4. Cover the pie shell(s) with plastic wrap and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour on medium speed until well blended.
  6. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
  8. Gently fold in the toasted coconut and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell(s).
  10. Place the pie(s) on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is lightly golden brown. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted near the center – it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve chilled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
