Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before beating them for 3 minutes. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour combined with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Consider using coconut milk for an extra coconut flavor. This pie can also be made with unsweetened shredded coconut for a less sweet option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this custard pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing Kathy'S Vegetable Salad to balance the sweetness. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a light fruit salad or a slice of Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Torte.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge, as it’s delicious either way.

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. It will continue to firm up as it cools. If the top begins to brown too much, you can cover it with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
