Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the ingredients until smooth and let the mixture rest for a few minutes before baking. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking powder. For a tropical twist, consider adding pineapple chunks or swapping out the coconut for banana puree.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the coconut custard pie chilled or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside The Maples Inn Blueberry-Stuffed 'French Toast' for a sweet spread that will impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover coconut custard pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This pie is best enjoyed fresh but can still be delicious after refrigeration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use unsweetened coconut instead of sweetened?
Yes, you can use unsweetened coconut if you prefer less sweetness. Just adjust the sugar in the recipe, reducing it slightly to balance the flavors. Unsweetened coconut will provide a more intense coconut flavor, making the pie a bit more savory.
What can I substitute for margarine?
You can substitute soft margarine with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, consider using vegan butter which will perform similarly in this recipe.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The custard pie is done when it is set in the center and slightly puffed. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on the edges; they should be golden brown but not burnt.
