How to Make Lemon Coconut Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated) if desired, and grate it.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the grated zucchini, 1 cup granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the pie is set and the center is just barely jiggly. The top should be lightly golden brown.

  7. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream.
