Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine milk, sugar, Bisquick mix, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a blender.
- Cover and blend at low speed for 3 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best coconut flavor, use unsweetened shredded coconut. If you're out of Bisquick mix, you can make a substitute using equal parts all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Consider adding a touch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending and even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for a refreshing dessert. It goes well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra touch, garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh fruit. This pie pairs beautifully with Cherry Bing Bars for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover coconut custard pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. This will help maintain the custard's creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use coconut milk instead of regular milk?
Yes, using coconut milk will enhance the coconut flavor and make the pie richer. Just ensure you adjust the sweetness accordingly, as coconut milk can be sweeter than regular milk.
How do I know when the custard pie is done?
The pie is done when the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just make sure to cover it well and refrigerate. This will allow the flavors to meld, making it even more delicious when served.
