Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Grease a 9-inch glass pie plate very well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 minutes until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using coconut milk instead of regular milk. If you don’t have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work as a substitute. Blend the ingredients just until smooth; over-blending can create too much air, affecting the crust formation during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of this Coconut Custard Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of Effie'S Homemade Pineapple Ice Cream for an extra touch of sweetness. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, like berries or sliced bananas, for a refreshing contrast. Consider a side of Pineapple Cottage Cheese Salad for a delightful combination.
