Ingredients
Instructions

- Pour the mixture into a greased pie pan.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350°F (175°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try substituting half of the coconut with chopped nuts or chocolate chips. You can use butter instead of margarine for a more traditional taste. If you're looking for a lighter version, consider using skim milk or a non-dairy alternative. Ensure your pie pan is well-greased to prevent sticking, and blend the mixture until smooth for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the custard pie chilled or at room temperature, dusted with a sprinkle of nutmeg for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful contrast, consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a light salad. This dessert is perfect for gatherings or as a sweet finish to any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover custard pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the custard's creamy texture.
