Ingredients
Instructions
- In a blender container, combine milk, eggs, sugar, flour, margarine, vanilla, and salt.
- Cover and blend about 10 seconds or until mixed.
- Do not overblend.
- Stir in coconut.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting whole milk with coconut milk. You can also use melted butter instead of margarine for a more traditional taste. If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the sugar to 2/3 cup. Blend the mixture just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect the texture. To enhance the coconut flavor, try toasting the flaked coconut before adding it.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Miracle Coconut Custard Pie chilled, garnished with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing Lime Avocado Salad for a light meal. This pie can also be complemented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience. Consider serving it at brunch alongside Quiche(Individual) for a delightful spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free version. Just ensure that the milk you choose has a similar consistency to whole milk for the best results. Coconut milk can also enhance the coconut flavor, making it a delicious alternative.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make the Miracle Coconut Custard Pie gluten-free, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to choose one that is suitable for baking to maintain the pie's texture. This adjustment will allow those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy the pie without sacrificing flavor.
What can I do if the pie doesn't set properly?
If your pie doesn't set, it may need more baking time. Ensure you're baking it until the edges are firm and the center is slightly jiggly. Also, make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly, as any lumps can prevent the custard from setting properly. If it still doesn't set, consider chilling it longer in the refrigerator.
