Marg's Coconut Custard Pie
This is my Mom's favorite pie. We always check the frozen secrion of the grocery store or markets to see if they have it. For the life of me I can't figure why, when my Mom makes the best from scratch. I guess it is part of the wonderful tradition.
Ingredients
1 ¼ cups shredded sweetened coconut2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon fine grain salt
1 homemade or store-bought Pie Crust ready in a deep dish pie pan, unbaked
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325° F.Sprinkle the coconut into the uncooked crust, and set aside.
Pour the milk in a small saucepan, and over a medium heat, bring to a simmer.
While the milk is heating, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl, and gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Pour the custard into the prepared pie crust.
Bake, about 25-35 minutes, or until the center of the custard is set, but still jiggles a bit, like gelatin. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack, then refrigerate.
