A page outta Granny's playbook

I don't think I've had a slice of real coconut pie since I was a kid. Tonight I made a coconut custard pie like Granny used to make. The good thing is neither my wife nor daughter like coconut,,,,,,, more for me!!!

Fabulous! I love coconut myself, for some unknown reason, most people don't. I wish I knew the Mounds candy bar coconut mixture!

Nice looking pie. My mom always put calf slobber on hers.

Heck yes !!!!!!!

One of my favorites. Looks great.

Oh yea, one of my favorites also.

My apologies for dragging on this one.

1 unbaked deep dish pie shell
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel ( could skip if you don't have any, but it does add a nice citrus flavor )
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup grated coconut
extra 3 tablespoon grated coconut

In a large bowl beat the eggs ( mixer okay )
add milk and heavy cream and blend well
add butter, orange peel, sugar and 3/4 cup coconut,,, blend well
pour into pie shell
sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons of coconut

Bake at 400 degrees until custard is well set. ( begin checking at 35 minutes ) Kinda jiggle the pan to check it. It will be clearly liquidy at first, then once set it's more like firm jello. Let it cool before digging in.

Enjoy Brother!!!

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a shot.
