Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish with some butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the 1/2 cup of butter.
- Add 1 cup of orange juice and mix until well combined.
- Beat in the 4 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of finely ground almonds, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut meat, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour.
- Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the 1 cup of milk and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
- Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake 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 on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- For the best flavor, let it cool completely to room temperature. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for a few hours and serve cold.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a few thin slices of fresh orange or toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
- Slice and serve the citrus and coconut pie. Enjoy the delightful blend of citrusy and nutty flavors with a touch of coconut!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin, as this helps with better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Toast the almonds lightly before using them to enhance their flavor and add a bit of crunch to the pie.
- For an extra citrusy kick, add some finely grated orange zest to the batter.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a more natural and vibrant flavor.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pie; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature to experience the full burst of citrus and coconut flavors.
