Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine milk, sugar, biscuit mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in an electric blender.

- Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie plate.
- Let stand about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with coconut.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of low-fat. You can substitute the sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor profile. If you want a gluten-free version, replace the biscuit mix with a gluten-free baking mix. Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency before baking.
Serving Suggestions
This Coconut Blender Pie is delightful on its own but also pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside fresh fruit or a light salad, such as Eezey Lime Salad, for a refreshing contrast. It's perfect for brunch or as a light dessert after a hearty meal.
