Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat milk or substitute with coconut milk for a richer flavor. If you don't have Bisquick, you can replace it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking powder. Ensure the butter is melted before blending for a smooth consistency. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by reducing the sugar slightly if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the coconut custard pie chilled or at room temperature. For added flavor, consider topping each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a side of Jamay'S Biscuit Peach Cobbler for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the coconut custard pie to cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. Avoid reheating the entire pie at once to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?
Yes, sweetened coconut can be used for a richer flavor, but keep in mind that it will increase the sweetness of the pie. If you choose sweetened coconut, consider reducing the sugar in the recipe slightly to balance the flavors.
Is it possible to make this pie dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk and replace the butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. This will keep the pie delicious and suitable for those following dairy-free diets.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken. You can also insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready. Baking times may vary based on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
