Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and adjust the oven rack to the center position.
  2. Place your unbaked 9-inch pie shell into the oven and prebake for about 8–10 minutes until slightly dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
  4. Add 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt; mix until combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
  6. Pour the coconut custard mixture into the pre-baked pie shell, reserving some coconut for garnish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center has a gentle jiggle.
  8. Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature; chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.
