Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Measurement Conversion:
- 3 large eggs
- 240 grams sugar
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 60 grams Bisquick baking mix
- 80 grams sweetened shredded coconut
- 57 grams butter, melted
- 7.5 milliliters vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9-inch pie pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs until they become slightly frothy and light.
- Gradually incorporate milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the eggs, stirring continuously to create a smooth liquid base.
- Add Bisquick mix and sugar to the liquid ingredients, blending carefully to eliminate any potential lumps.
- Fold in shredded coconut, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture for consistent flavor and texture.
- Transfer the combined batter into the prepared pie pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, rotating halfway through to promote uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Check the pie’s doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with no wet batter.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 15-20 minutes, allowing the filling to set and firm up before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnishing with additional toasted coconut or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Toast the coconut lightly before mixing to enhance its nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the pie.
- For a gluten-free version, replace Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour to maintain the pie’s texture.
- Chill the pie for an hour before serving to help it set firmly and develop a more intense coconut flavor.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut if you prefer a less sweet dessert, allowing you to control the overall sugar content.
