Miracle Coconut Pie
A rich and creamy coconut custard pie with a self-made crust, perfect for dessert or a special treat, featuring sweet coconut flavor and smooth texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs, sugar, and biscuit mix until smooth.
- Add vanilla, margarine, milk, and coconut; blend together.
- Pour the mixture into a 9-inch plate or pie dish.
- Heat oven to 350°F and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of regular milk. You can substitute the margarine with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the sugar slightly, but keep in mind that the coconut adds sweetness too. Make sure to sift the biscuit mix to avoid lumps in the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream on top for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Island Pineapple Salad for a tropical meal or can be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee for a delightful dessert. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Miracle Coconut Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold, as the flavors develop even more after a day in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweetened coconut instead of unsweetened?
Yes, you can use sweetened coconut if you prefer a sweeter pie. Just be mindful of the sugar content in the recipe, as the sweetened coconut will add additional sweetness. Adjust the sugar accordingly to achieve your desired flavor.
What can I use instead of biscuit mix?
If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This homemade mix will work just as well in the recipe.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! Miracle Coconut Pie can be made a day in advance. Just allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. This not only saves time but also enhances the flavors, making it an ideal dessert for gatherings or special occasions.
