How to Make Creamy Coconut Pie With Its Own Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press half of the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
