This sweet coconut custard filling for this pie is more solid than a Coconut Cream Pie but packs the same coconutty punch! Mix all the ingredients, add to a pie crust, and bake! It’s as simple as that.

How to Make Coconut Pie

Follow along to learn how to make coconut pie – a classic dessert recipe!

• Step One: Preheat your oven to 325°F. If you’re using a frozen pie crust, be sure to follow those directions first!

• Step Two: In a bowl, stir eggs, sugar, lemon juice, butter, coconut, and salt. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.

• Step Three: Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool before slicing. That’s it!

Since the toothpick trick obviously won’t work here to tell the doneness of this pie, you can know if it’s fully baked when there’s still a slight jiggle in the center and the top has turned a nice golden brown. Let this pie fully cool before slicing, or you’ll serve coconut soup!

This recipe is just like your grandma’s old-fashioned Coconut Pies, with only the basics and no fluff. Pair it with some whipped cream, and you have a perfect dessert to serve to your family after a delicious meal! I may have eaten a piece for breakfast. Don’t judge.

What to Serve with It

This pie is fantastic on its own, but it’s also a great base for a world of dessert toppings to make each slice unique!

Whipped cream, Cool Whip, and vanilla ice cream bring out the pie’s sweetness.

Looking for a little more sauce? Butterscotch or caramel sauce would be an amazing complement to the coconut custard. And of course, if you need more coconut, a sprinkle of toasted coconut over your other toppings gives you double the coconut, so win-win!

Storage Instructions

This pie must be stored in cold places, whether in the refrigerator or the freezer.

When wrapped tightly, Coconut Pie can last up to 3 days in the fridge. Whole or partial pies can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow the pie to cool completely before covering it in freezer-safe wrapping.
