Coconut custard pie that is impossibly easy to make. Just throw all the ingredients in the blender and you’re good to go.
1 cup flaked coconut
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons margarine or butter
3/4 cup white sugar
Place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a greased and floured 10″ pie pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to post this recipe; it’s one of my favourites. It’s a very kid-friendly recipe because children can help pour all the ingredients into the blender and watch it blend. I used to like to help my mom make this when I was a kid, and I remember it seemed almost magical the way it forms a crust, then creamy custard, then a layer of coconut on top. The crust isn’t a pie crust in the traditional sense, but there is a thin golden outer layer that lifts out of the pie plate easily. We usually have some kind of dessert on Sundays, and I like to make this recipe on those Sundays when I’m short on time and energy. It’s also great that the ingredients are all typically found in my kitchen in case I haven’t planned a dessert ahead of time. The kids and Tony all seem to enjoy this pie a lot and so do I. They’d probably like a real pie even better, but I am sadly deficient in that area. I just can’t seem to make a decent pie crust! If you like this pie, be sure to check out this pumpkin version we made a while ago; it’s quite yummy too.
What a great looking recipe! I’m a huge coconut fan. I’ll be sure to try it out! Thanks!

Oh, this looks awesome! I’ve done the pumpkin version but never heard of a coconut kind. I wonder how this would do with coconut milk… hmmm!
This looks incredible!! I melt at the sound of coconut…
My Thursday suddenly takes an exciting twist…YUMMMMMMM
Don’t you love this recipe? My 12-year old made one for Easter dinner. It got eaten so quickly I didn’t get a pic!
this looks great!
Oh yum, very easy and I have everything on hand.
Delicious! And I LOVE how easy it is. 🙂
you had me at coconut! the fact that it’s so easy makes it even better, great recipe!
Thank you very much for posting this! I saw it this morning and went to the store to get coconut right away. It turned out wayyy better than I thought it could. I substituted most of the sugar with honey, which gave it a nice flavor. I loved how the coconut got toasted on top. YUM! This is a definite keeper for our family!
love it! we’re a gluten free household but it’ll give me an excuse of cooking with coconut flour! and I’ll take any excuse to do that!!
Thank you! I have been looking for this recipe for years. Actually the one I had was from 4-H and wasn’t coconut, but that sounds like a great addition. 🙂
quick question: do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut for this recipe?
I used unsweetened.
Hi Megan… I bookmarked this recipe sooooo long ago and just finally made it the other day. We loved it! The custard part is to die for – and I love that it is so easy – and love even more the zero clean up. I did add a pinch of nutmeg and, as I don’t actually have a pie pan, baked it in a round casserole dish. I’ll be making again (probably too often). Thanks!
That is great to hear! It’s certainly a favourite dessert in our house.
