This is a warm, silky, lightly sweet, eggy coconut custard pie that reminds you of grandmother’s dining room table for a holiday dinner. Coconut Custard Pie tastes similar to the Christmas Macarons that you love!

This coconut custard pie is perfectly balanced with flaky crust, toasty coconut and that fluffy macaron flavor that you enjoy so much! In fact, you love pies and I know you might also want to try some Old Fashioned Peaches and Cream Pie, Candy Bar No Bake Ice Cream Pie, Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pie or even try canning some cherry pie filling yourself! If you are going low carb, you might try this recipe from my friend Logan at Better Than Bread Keto Its a Keto Sugar Cream Pie! 

But, let’s look at your questions first. Here is what you might have questions about:  

The ingredients for Coconut Custard Pie

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE COCONUT CUSTARD PIE IS DONE?

This pie is cooked long and slow and it DOES take a while to finish in the oven. The cook has only  a tiny bit of guesswork. For less guesswork, try my Easy Cherry Cobbler!

You will know that the coconut custard pie is done when you jiggle the side of the pie pan and the center of the pie only wiggles slightly (like jello) and is no longer sloppy loose (like milk).

DOES COCONUT CUSTARD PIE HAVE TO BE REFRIGERATED

Coconut Custard pie is best when you keep it in the fridge after baking. It is fine to allow it to sit out for 2 hours once it has come to room temperature.

After that time, you will want to cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator.

CAN I FREEZE COCONUT CUSTARD PIE

This Pie tends to separate from the crust when you freeze it, so it’s best to make it and eat it fresh.

You can always share it with a friend!

IS COCONUT CUSTARD PIE AND COCONUT CREAM PIE THE SAME THING?

No, a coconut custard pie has a smooth coconut pie filling and is baked and ready to serve. A coconut cream pie has a custard or pudding filling. You will typically find a topping like a meringue or whipped topping on the other pie. The fillings are different.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR COCONUT CUSTARD PIE

• If you want to freshly grate your coconut for this pie, that would be the BEST. However, the kind you find already flaked in the grocery store baking aisle will do just fine.
• You can substitute whole milk for the coconut milk, however, I think the coconut milk adds more flavor that you will love.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet beneath your pie in the oven. You don’t want it to bubble and spill into your oven. What a mess!
• Cool your pie on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before cutting into it. Cutting in earlier can lead to a loose pie in the pan.
• Expect that your pie will puff up when it cooks and then when you remove it from the oven that it will flatten out. This is to be expected.

A VERSE TO SHARE

Today, I simply want to share some of The Word with you for you to consider and perhaps pray over. Please go read the full passage in your own Bible this important passage about humility and what it means to be gentle.

I pray that we all live a life worthy of the calling that we have received. Amen.

Ephesians 4: 1-6

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;  one Lord, one faith, one baptism;  one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
