Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp edges if desired.

2. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together Bisquick and sugar.

Add eggs; whisk until smooth.

Gradually whisk in milk until fully blended.

Stir in coconut and vanilla.

3. Assemble the Pie

Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust.

Sprinkle extra coconut on top (optional but pretty!).

Dot with softened butter.

4. Bake to Perfection

Bake 50–60 minutes, until center is set (a knife inserted 1 inch from edge should come out clean).

⚠️ Cover edges with foil at 30 minutes if browning too quickly.

5. Cool & Serve

Cool completely on a wire rack (at least 3 hours—custard needs time to set!).

Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Optional: Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut.

✨ For best slices: Chill 1 hour before cutting.
