A coconut cream pie recipe that's tried and true. It took many years of searching and baking to find the right one, and this is it!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

  • 3 cups half-and-half

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread coconut on a baking sheet.

    2. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

    3. Combine half-and-half, sugar, flour, eggs, and salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 15 minutes.

    4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup toasted coconut and vanilla; reserve remaining toasted coconut for garnishing the pie.

    5. Pour custard into pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours.

    6. Top with whipped topping and reserved toasted coconut.

    7. Enjoy!
