Thought Nana’s recipe was lost, but I found it! It tastes even better than I remember. (Page 2 ) | April 21, 2025

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the melted butter, self-rising flour, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. It will set more as it cools, revealing its magical layers.

Variations & Tips
For a different spin, you can substitute the whole milk with coconut milk for an even richer coconut flavor. If you have a sweet tooth but prefer less processed sugar, try using coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar. To make it gluten-free, replace the self-rising flour with a gluten-free baking mix. If you have picky eaters at home, topping the pie with a layer of sliced almonds or a drizzle of chocolate sauce after it cools can make it even more enticing.
