Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup self rising flour
1/4 cup melted oleo
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Combine ingredients in order given; mix well.
Pour into a greased 10-inch pie pan.
Bake in 350° oven for 45 minutes or till golden brown.
The middle will appear rather soft. If properly done, it will have a delicate crust over top, sides and bottom.
It will be solid enough to cut after it has cooled.
The center will be a perfect cream pie.
This is a quick way to bake a coconut pie.
If you leave it in the oven too long, you will have more of a cake.

Tips:

Use fresh shredded coconut for the best flavor. Freshly shredded coconut can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the crust tough.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

This coconut pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pie crust is made with a combination of graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar, and the filling is made with a mixture of coconut, sugar, eggs, and cream.
