Ingredients
Custard Mixture
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup Bisquick
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Topping
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the custard pie.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a blender, place the whole milk, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to start the custard base.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add Bisquick, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes to the blender with the wet ingredients.
- Blend Mixture: Blend all ingredients on low speed for 3 minutes until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Pour Filling: Pour the blended custard mixture into a lightly greased pie plate, ensuring even distribution.
- Rest Filling: Allow the filling to stand for 5 minutes at room temperature to let it settle before baking.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup of unsweetened coconut flakes evenly on top of the filling for a toasted coconut texture.
- Bake Pie: Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Notes
- Ensure the pie plate is lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Do not overblend; low speed blending ensures a smooth texture without excess air incorporated.
- Letting the filling stand before baking helps it to set better.
- Check doneness by gently shaking the pie; the center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.
- Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a balanced flavor without extra sweetness.
