One of my fondest memories is of coconut custard pie for Christmas dessert. I think that original recipe my mom used was quite complicated and included boiling the milk, etc. Nothing could be easier than this recipe, and it
looks and tastes just like the one my mom used to slave over!
Ingredients
2 cups milk (whole milk recommended)
3/4 cups of sugar
1/2 cup all purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
4 eggs
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp coconut extract (optional)
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
Put all ingrediants except the coconut into a blender (seriously!). Blend on low for 3 minutes. Pour into greased 9″ pie pan and bake at 350 deg F for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
The amazing thing is the Bisquick sinks to the bottom to form a crust, and the coconut gets evenly distributed into the pie. Enjoy!
