Published: Friday, March 27, 2026
3 large eggs
½ c. granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 c. half & half, divided
1 pinch sea salt
½ stick butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1¼ c. coconut, flaked or shredded
9" deep dish pie crust
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix eggs and sugar well with a hand mixer. Dissolve cornstarch in ¼ cup of the half & half; add back to remaining half & half and stir until well combined. Add mixture slowly to the egg/sugar mix, while continuing to beat on low speed; add salt. Stir in the melted butter by hand. Add vanilla extract and coconut.
Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven. Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil if browning too quickly. The top of the pie should be a golden color when done.
