Coconut Pie is a super quick and super easy recipe. Crispy dough basket, soft custard filling, and lots of coconut flakes. The flakes remain white on the inside of the pie, while on the outside they are fried and crispy.
You can play around and combine all the ingredients in order to make a coconut pie. but it won’t get any worse if you just mix everything at once in one bowl.
Believe me, it’s really fast and very tasty. all you have to do is wait a full hour until it is ready!
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH COCONUT PIE?
- Preheat oven to 350F. Combine sugar with melted butter.
- Add lightly beaten eggs, white vinegar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt to the mixture and combine.
- Add coconut flakes and stir.
- Pour the filling into the prepared unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for an hour. Cool and serve.
Do you need to refrigerate coconut pie?
The pie can be eaten warm; it is not necessary to refrigerate before serving. But it should be kept in the refrigerator. Wrap it in cling film or place it in a container with a lid. Its shelf life is no more than three days.
You can also wait until it has completely cooled down, then wrap it tightly in foil and store it in the freezer for 3-4 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before use.
What to serve with coconut pie?
This pie is great on its own and makes a good addition to your tea, coffee, or milk.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream, Whipped cream, or Cool Whip. Toffee or caramel syrup is a great addition. You can also sprinkle the pie with fresh coconut flakes or garnish with berries.
RECIPE TIPS;
- Use unsweetened coconut flakes. Ideally, buy a coconut and use the pulp of fresh coconut for extra flavor and taste.
- You can add pineapple chunks to the filling for variety.

The best French coconut pie I’ve ever made
What kind of “flaked coconut”? Sweetened? Unsweetened?
More info please.
She says (100k Recipes lady) that she uses unsweetened or fresh coconut. My mother made this when I was growing up and it was a solid 2nd place under my absolute favorite lemon ice box pie (still my favorite pie and I’m 64). She ALWAYS used sweetened coconut by Bakers that was in a blue can but they only sell in 14oz (I think) bags. If you want to use unsweetened idk where you can get it accept the frozen kind which tastes 99% like fresh and a LOT less trouble!
Best coconut pie I’ve ever had! This pie was so easy to make and so delicious to eat! This recipe is a keeper!
Easy & delicious recipe…made it 3 x
Today I am making 2 pie, since I am visiting family & friends…I am sure they will enjoy it as much as my husband & I do
This pie is awesome. Easy to make and tastes delicious. What more can you ask for!! Yummy 😊
Saw your recipe and just had to try it. I didn’t have a pie crust and too lazy to go to the store so used small pyrex custard cups. It came out delicious. So chewy and moist. Since it doesn’t look like yours, I won’t be sharing it:)
Thanks for dropping by to let me know! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent
