No rolling, no blind baking
Just pour the mixture into a pan and bake
And watch as the top turns golden and crisp
The secret lies in the perfect balance of flour, sugar, and butter , which caramelizes slightly during baking — creating a natural top layer that feels just like a crust.

It’s genius.
It’s simple.
And best of all… it’s delicious.

🧂 Ingredients (Makes One 9-inch Pie)
All-purpose flour
½ cup
Granulated sugar
1 ½ cups
Unsalted butter, melted
½ cup (1 stick)
Whole milk
2 cups
Flaked coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 ½ cups
Eggs
2 large
Vanilla extract
1 tsp
Pinch of salt
To enhance flavor

✅ Pro Tip: For an even richer taste, use coconut milk in place of whole milk — it deepens the coconut flavor and gives a silkier texture.

🍰 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set it to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a 9-inch pie dish or cake pan — this helps the natural crust form properly.

Step 2: Mix Everything in One Bowl
In a large mixing bowl, combine:

Flour
Sugar
Melted butter
Milk
Eggs
Vanilla
Salt
1 cup of the shredded coconut
Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3: Pour and Bake
Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of coconut on top for a toasted finish.

Bake for 40–45 minutes , or until the center is set and the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.

As it cools, the top firms up into a buttery, crisp layer , while the inside stays creamy and custardy — just like your favorite coconut pie.
