How to Make Coconut Macadamia Nut Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Carefully place your store-bought or homemade pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges according to package directions or your preferred method.
  3. Freeze the unbaked pie crust for 15 minutes.
  4. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup macadamia nuts (roughly chopped), and 3 large eggs.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk until smooth.
  8. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Insert a knife or toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
  11. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to fully set.
