Ingredients
Instructions
- Put all ingredients, except coconut, into a blender in the order given.
- Blend for about 1 minute until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 9-inch pie tin.
- Sprinkle coconut on top if desired.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes until set.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture before blending. If you don't have Bisquick, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. For a richer custard, use whole milk instead of low-fat. Also, ensure the margarine is softened for easier blending.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of custard pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. This pie pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad like Fancy Coleslaw to balance the sweetness.

Store leftover custard pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy again, reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or serve cold for a refreshing treat.
