Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9 or 10-inch pie pan, greasing the rim also.

- Allow to cool slightly before serving; crust will be on the bottom, custard in the middle, and coconut on top if used.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract along with the vanilla flavoring. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute it with a combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. Make sure to beat the ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth mixture. For added texture, sprinkle additional coconut on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful twist, serve alongside fresh fruit or a light fruit salad to complement the custard and coconut flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute whole milk with almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Keep in mind that using a flavored milk may alter the final taste of the pie slightly.
What can I do if my pie doesn't set properly?
If your pie doesn’t set, it may need more baking time. Make sure to check it with a toothpick; it should come out clean from the center when done. If it still seems runny, consider baking it longer, checking every 5 minutes until it firms up.
Is it possible to add fruit to this pie?
Absolutely! You can fold in some fresh or frozen berries before baking for a fruity twist. Just make sure to adjust the sugar to account for the sweetness of the fruit. This addition can make the pie reminiscent of summer desserts.
