French Coconut Pie

I think when you hear “easy as pie” it’s in reference to this pie—this very pie, French Coconut Pie, submitted by eastmemphismama. This pie is as easy as is it gets, and mighty, mighty good too. I mean real, real, good. Like “slap your pappy, call the news, hide in the closet to eat the whole thing, not caring that you have to run ten miles to work it off” kind of good.

And I did say easy, right? Easy as pie.

(I’ve never been known to be obnoxious. No, not me.)

Let’s get started.

Begin with basic ingredients: beaten eggs, sugar, flaked coconut, melted butter, white vinegar, vanilla extract, salt, and a 9″ uncooked pie shell (I used a prepared frozen one from the grocery store—NOT deep dish). Be sure to check the recipe page for the full list of ingredient measurements.

Grab a bowl large enough for mixing all the ingredients. To the sugar, add the melted butter, beaten eggs, white vinegar and vanilla extract. And don’t forget the pinch of salt.

Then goes in the flaked coconut.

Mix all together well.

Don’t think I didn’t think about taking a large bite. The raw eggs stopped me.

Pour the pie filling into the unbaked prepared pie crust. Bake for an hour at 350°F. I placed the pie on a cookie sheet for baking to avoid any spillage or bubbling over.

How easy was that? Now you just have to wait.

For a whole hour.

Bake until golden brown. There’s nothing quite like toasted coconut is there? Total yumminess.

Cool (if you can wait that long) and enjoy!

Many thanks to eastmemphismama for sharing this recipe with us all. My husband couldn’t be more thankful.

This looks FANTABULOUS and I don’t even like coconut.

Happy Birthday Miss AMY!

Your description says to bake @ 400 degrees, but the printable says to bake @ 350. Which should I do?

Michelle on 4.25.2011

Oh wowzers! Easy as pie, a little tempting!

At first this sounded gross to me because I’m not big on coconut. But then I looked at the pictures and now I have to make it. Looks amazing.

Looks great! And easy too! The perfect combination!
I noticed in your post you said to bake at 400 degrees, however the recipe calls for 350 degrees. I’m guessing 350 is the right one? 400 sounds a little too hot for an hour of cooking time.
I’m looking forward to trying this. I love coconut!

I make a coconut pie like this and it is delicious. My DMIL in particular loves this pie. I always have to make at least 3. It is a great little-effort dessert recipe to have in your arsenal.

I have been scratching my head over the white vinegar though. It just now occurred to me that my recipe calls for lemon juice. You don’t really notice the lemon flavor but I’ve no doubt it piques the overall flavor, so I assume the vinegar would do the same.

A wonderful idea for an after Easter Monday.
