This was a successful adaptation of a few recipes I found online because my dad requested this pie for his birthday. The coconut milk accentuates the flavor and creamy texture of the pie, but the topping is what makes it shine. It was a huge hit (even my anti-pie sister thought it was delicious), and I can't wait to make it again!

Coconut custard pie is fantastic any time of year, but for some reason, we think of it as a spring pie. This recipe is absolutely delicious. The pie has the perfect custard middle. But, it's all about the topping for this coconut custard pie recipe. Thanks to the brown sugar, it caramelizes the coconut when toasted under the broiler. So good! After one bite, you'll make this easy pie again and again.

How To Make coconut custard pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients except for the pie shells and topping in a blender.

Step 2

Pour mixture into pie shells. I put the pie tins on a cookie sheet to more easily slide them in and out of the oven.
Step 3

Bake for 40-50 mins or until inserted knife comes out clean.
Step 4

I also recommend covering the pies with foil towards the end, especially if they need extra oven time, to prevent the crust from over-browning.
Step 5

Allow pie to cool completely.
Step 6

Mix topping ingredients.
Step 7

Before serving, spread topping over pies.
Step 8

Broil, about 4 inches from heat, for 2-4 minutes, rotating pies once if necessary. Superb!
