Ingredients
Instructions
- Put eggs in blender.
- Blend slightly.
- Add butter, sugar, biscuit mix, milk, vanilla, and coconut; blend just enough to mix.
- Pour into greased pie plate.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the eggs are at room temperature before blending, as this helps with the texture. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the overall flavor. For a twist, consider incorporating chocolate chips or nuts into the mix.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is delicious on its own but can be enhanced with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness. Serve it alongside fresh fruit or a light salad, such as Green Beans With Almonds, for a refreshing contrast. It also pairs beautifully with Blackberry Or Jam Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warm. If you prefer a crispier texture, reheat in a toaster oven for a few minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk for this recipe?
Yes, you can use almond milk or coconut milk as a dairy-free alternative. Just be aware that the flavor and texture might slightly change depending on the milk you choose. If using a non-dairy milk, ensure it's unsweetened to maintain the balance of flavors.
What can I do if the pie doesn’t set properly?
If the pie doesn't set as expected, it may require more baking time. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time. Additionally, ensure you blend the ingredients just until combined to avoid incorporating too much air, which can affect setting.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it gently before serving. This makes it a perfect option for gatherings or when you want to save time on the day of serving.
