- Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 300°F for 45 minutes until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try using whole milk instead of low-fat milk. If you want a lighter version, consider using coconut milk in place of regular milk. Ensure you mix thoroughly to avoid lumps from the flour. If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to taste. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor, similar to the delightful taste of Carrie'S Brunch Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Creme Coconut Pie chilled or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For a delightful brunch treat, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or the Fantastic Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until warmed through, being careful not to overheat, as it may change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust?
Yes, using a store-bought pie crust is a convenient option that can save time. Just make sure to use an unbaked crust so the filling cooks properly. Follow the package instructions for best results.
What type of coconut should I use?
You can use either sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut, depending on your preference for sweetness. Sweetened coconut will make the pie sweeter, while unsweetened will give a more natural coconut flavor.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can gently shake the pie; it should not wobble excessively. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
