Sweet, creamy, and wonderfully old-school 🥥🥧
Here’s a classic French Coconut Pie recipe—easy to make and impossible to resist.

🥥 French Coconut Pie

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

• 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

• 1 cup sugar

• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup milk

• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Fill crust
   Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly into the unbaked pie crust.

3. Mix filling
   In a bowl, whisk sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

4. Assemble
   Pour mixture over the coconut. Do not stir—the coconut will rise naturally.

5. Bake
   Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden on top and set in the center.

6. Cool
   Let cool completely before slicing (it firms up as it cools).
