Old Fashioned Coconut Pie

This is the best Old-Fashioned Coconut Pie recipe ever! A flakey, buttery crust is filled with a creamy coconut center and baked until golden. Gooey in the center with a crisp crust, it's utterly irresistible, especially when topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

  • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the pie is ready.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 1-2 hours before serving.
  • Slice and serve the Old-Fashioned Coconut Pie as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
