Recipe: Southern Style Coconut Pie
Description: This recipe is easy to make, and tried and true. I add about 1/3 cup more grated coconut than called for in the recipe, and also add a dash of nutmeg sprinkled over the top before baking. If you like your pie sweeter, add a bit more sugar too! Serve either warm or cooled to room temperature, it really is delicious! We love it!
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 cup butter, softened"}, {"text": "1/2 cup sugar"}, {"text": "2 eggs, beaten"}, {"text": "1 cup milk"}, {"text": "2 cups coconut"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon vanilla"}, {"text": "1 pinch baking soda"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon nutmeg"}, {"text": "1 (9 inch) pie shells"}]
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
Pre-bake the pie shell for 5 - 7 minutes. (Prick it with a fork 4 to 5 times first).
In a large bowl, make the filling by blending with an electric mixer all the ingredients, starting with the butter and sugar, then add the other ingredients.
Pour into the pre-baked pie shell.
Bake at 350-degrees until filling is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Serve warm or cooled to room temperature.
