Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat eggs until light and fluffy.
- Stir in canned pumpkin.
- Add the dry ingredients mixture to the pumpkin mixture.
- Mix well, then gradually stir in milk.
- Add coconut and mix until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the filling into a pastry-lined unbaked pie pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 55 minutes until set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of half and half. If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to blend the ingredients well to avoid any lumps, especially when incorporating the coconut. If you like a little extra texture, you can toast the coconut before adding it to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pumpkin coconut pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with coffee, making it a perfect dessert for a cozy brunch or holiday gathering. For a delightful twist, serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a sprinkle of toasted nuts.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. You can also insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on the pie during the last few minutes to avoid overbaking.
