Homemade Egg Custard pie is one of my family’s favorite desserts. It’s one of the few things that all three of our children go crazy over (besides candy, of course!). After making classic custard pies for years, I decided it was time to give Coconut Custard Pie a shot, and I’m so glad I did! It came out AMAZING!

How To Make Coconut Custard Pie

Crust

I used a frozen store bought crust for this pie. It’s much faster and easier than making a pie crust from scratch. However, if you don’t feel like running to the store, you should check out my Classic Egg Custard Pie recipe, which includes an easy homemade lard crust.

Coconut Custard Filling

This Coconut Custard Pie is not hard to make, so don’t be intimidated! I wanted to preserve the classic custard flavor, but wanted shredded coconut for the texture and subtle flavor boost.

That’s why this recipe is similar to a classic custard pie, but with the addition of coconut.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Eggs
• Whole Milk
• Sugar
• Shredded Coconut

Does Coconut Custard Pie Have To Be Refrigerated?

In general, it’s a good idea to refrigerate homemade baked goods that contain eggs. The risk is pretty low for foodborne illness if your pie is cooked fully, but since there are so many variables within different kitchens (like the ambient temperatures within), we recommend you refrigerate your pie if you’re storing it overnight or longer.

Store bought custard pie is usually not refrigerated because it contains preservatives.

Can You Freeze Custard Pie?

Unfortunately, unlike most pies custard does not fair well when frozen. We have been there, done that. It actually separates the milk and eggs and gets watery and gross–don’t do it!
