Coconut Pie
Coconut pie is a custard-style pie with a filling of coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, baked in a pie crust.
The dessert is closely associated with the Caribbean, where coconut has long been a staple ingredient, and it remains a fixture of Caribbean cuisines today.
The filling is made by cooking coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and sometimes flour or cornstarch until thickened, then baking it in a pre-baked, buttery crust until set and golden brown. Some recipes add shredded coconut for texture, or flavor the custard with vanilla, lime, or rum.
It is typically served on its own or with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. Its flavor is sweet and creamy with a smooth, custard-like texture set off by the flaky crust.
