Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- If you haven’t done so already, finely chop the almonds and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose white wheat flour, chopped almonds, and dried coconut meat until evenly distributed. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until they’re well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the sugar to the eggs while continuing to whisk. Then, slowly pour in the melted butter and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the lemon zest, orange zest, lemon juice, and orange juice. Mix well until the zests and juices are fully incorporated into the egg mixture.
- Gradually add the coconut milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it’s well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients (flour, almonds, and dried coconut) to the wet mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set properly.
- Slice and serve your coconut pie. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Optionally, you can top it with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing to ensure even consistency and baking.
- When preparing citrus zest, be careful to avoid the white pith beneath the skin as it can add bitterness to your pie.
- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the batter for an extra depth of flavor.
- Use a high-quality coconut milk for a richer texture and taste.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and to let the filling set properly.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special presentation.
Your coconut pie is now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of rich coconut and refreshing citrus creates a perfectly balanced dessert that's sure to impress.
