How to Make Unbelievable Lemon Coconut Pie

  1. If making your own pie crust, prepare it according to your recipe and blind bake for 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. Gradually whisk in lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
  5. Remove from heat and whisk in the melted butter.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding a small amount of the hot lemon mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining lemon mixture and whisk to combine.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
  8. Stir in the coconut milk and half of the shredded coconut.
  9. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  10. Top with the remaining shredded coconut.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center may still be slightly jiggly.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set and the flavors to meld.
  13. Serve chilled and enjoy!
