5 STAR REVIEW
You guys. THIS PIE. Ohmygod, this Coconut pie. If you love coconut, you have to make it. You need to make it. Honestly, even if you don’t like coconut, you should make it! It might change your mind. Sweet and sublime. I’ve made it so many times. It’s what dreams are made of!
I’m convinced this pie alongside my Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies could solve world peace. HA!
Why is this Coconut Pie Recipe So Great?
- You only need 1 bowl to whisk everything together.
- The filling comes together in just 5 minutes.
- The inside is smooth with slight texture from the coconut, and the outside is buttery and crispy.
- A top crust is formed simply from baking.

Nutrition
Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and any changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are very important to you, I would recommend calculating them yourself.
Did you make this? Leave a rating below!How does the top crust form?
While the inside of this pie has a custard-like texture, the top has is crackled and crispy. This happens from the coconut flakes rising to the surface as the pie bakes. Some call it the Impossible Pie
What is the vinegar for?
This recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Basically the acid provides a nice counterpart to the sweetness, and the chemical reaction allows baked goods to be light and fluffy. I never make this pie without it, but you can omit it if you want. If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can use regular vinegar or lemon juice in its place.
How to Store Coconut Pie
- Counter. This pie can sit out for a day (covered with foil.)
- Fridge. After a day on the counter, it should be refrigerated. Either way, it will dry out the longer it sits and is best eaten within a couple days. You can freeze this pie, but it’s not recommended, since it tends to be watery once it thaws out.

I’m making this coconut pie for our Easter lunch tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe.
Can I use one cup of sugar instead of one and a half I am a Diabetic
Hi Chip! I personally have never tested this pie with only 1 cup of sugar, but others have and said it was fine. Keep in mind that sugar is not only for sweetness, but also adds moisture, creates tenderness, aids in leavening by trapping air, promotes browning through caramelization, significantly impacting the final texture, color, and shelf life of baked goods.
I would like to know if I can use sweetened coconut because that’s what I have in my pantry?
Yep, that’s fine. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness, this coconut pie is so delicious!! The buttery topping is fabulous! And, it could not be any easier to make. The list of ingredients is minimal, which i love. This pie took me back tomy childhood!! I have made this pie 4 or 5 times and everyone loves it. They think I spent hours making it, and I won’t tell!
This pie is so delicious! I can’t wait to make it for church family again!!
I let my grandkids help me make it. It was so easy to make and so delicious.. They loved helping and LOVED eating it! It was a Hit!
I enjoy your recipes so much ,you have such a variety of recipes
Loved this pie. Had not made a pie in years. Could not wait for it to cool. Ate it hot.. Will make it again.
I used 1/4 c less sugar and it was still delicious! Thanks for this lovely yet easy pie recipe!
This was easy and delicious!
I made the recipe as written…the first time. This time I added chocolate chips and sliced almonds. Delicious either way!! Thank you for the recipe!
This was so easy I wasn’t sure if the recipe was too good to be true but it was in fact delicious! Everyone in the family devoured it! Will definitely be making again!
Even with many versions of my husband’s grandmother’s coconut pie recipe, this one is the easiest and best. I tend to put a little more coconut than one cup, have used regular white vinegar and homemade vanilla extract. Doesn’t last long and one pot mixing is the best! Thank you for sharing.
This is the easiest and best coco nut pie recipe I’ve ever made ,it’s went in my to keep book !
Easy and delicious recipe!
This is the easiest pie I’ve ever made – and SO good. Wow. Made as written but drizzled a little bit of melted chocolate over the top when finished cooling.
Can chocolate be added to this?
So simple so delicious so fast!
I will make this pie again and again for my family because they love Coconuts ?.
I’ll be looking for more of your recipes!
MMMMM…..DELICIOUS ?
So delicious and easy to make!
Best coconut pie I’ve had and the recipe is so easy
Crazy good pie and perfect for last minute dessert potlucks!
This reminds me of the old chess pie recipe with the added goodness of coconut. Easy and delicious
I randomly found this recipe six days ago – made it for my husband and sent pieces to different friends with lunch. To say it was a hit is an understatement! I’ve made 4 more since then, by request. Ridiculously easy, extremely affordable, and my new, quick, go-to, for holidays, birthdays, and any day dessert!
I want to make this coconut pie, but I’ve never seen unsweetened coconut, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it. What to do in that case?
Bob’s Red Mill has it.. Usually any store that sells bulk items carries it as well (i.e. Winco)
If I used sweet coconut should I reduce the sugar amount?
Absolutely wonderful.
My hubby’s favorite pie from his childhood and he absolutely loved it!
Great recipe
I’m about to make it tomorrow for my aunt’s Bday
I saw a comment on here, someone wasn’t sure she could find UNsweetened coconut. I get it from the Bulk Barn
I have made this pie many times
I love this pie
I used sweetened coconut because that’s all I had on hand. It was delicious. My dad loves coconut. We all loved it. It reminded me of a macaroon I make at Christmas. Thank you for the recipe. I will be making this again.
My family loves this pie! Never have enough!
Love this!! Made it 3 times in one week!!
Waiting to take it out the oven. Great recipe.
I love this recipe. Made it today. I used real lemon juice because I didn’t have vinegar and sweetened coconut because I didn’t have unsweetened and salted butter because I had no unsalted. It still turned out wonderful. Definitely going into my recipe book.
Have you ever added chocolate chips? Coconut and chocolate go well together.
A new family favorite! So simple yet so delicious. Thanx for sharing
I look forward to baking this coconut pie
Loved this recipe… I didn’t find it too sweet at all, but I didn’t use sweetened coconut… I cooked it for 55 minutes, ventilated oven, and it might have been too long. (next time I will take it out 10 minutes earlier) Thank you for a great, simple recipe! I just might add a handful of chocolate chips in the next time.
So easy and so delicious! Served for dinner guests – we all loved it.
So good and easy!
My in-laws are visiting and I needed something easy. My FIL loves coconut so I went searching and found this recipe. This is possibly the easiest pie I’ve ever made. Actually it might be the easiest dessert ever. The taste is amazing. We can’t stop eating it!
I LOVE THIS PIE
So easy. I cut some of the sugar and added mini chocolate chips. Everyone loved it.
This pie is delicious! I don’t even like coconut pie, but when I saw this recipe, I wanted to give it a try. I made this for my Christmas dinner dessert, and it was a hit. My mother-in-law said it was delicious and even took a piece home, LOL. This is much better than the traditional coconut pie. The crust on top does it for me.
Should this be a pre baked or not baked pie crust?
Everyone loved the pie.
Can you use brown sugar?
Not baked I would imagine because you will be baking it about an hour.
So I made this on a whim and it was sooo good. My only issue was that the pie stuck to the pan so it made it difficult to take the pie out in one piece. However, the pie tasted amazing so if it gets stuck in the pan again…who cares!!!
Soooo delicious and soooo easy to prepare! Love it and hubby went crazy for it.
What does the white wine vinegar has to do with it. I have seen may coconut pie recipes but this one is a first with white wine vinegar
Hi Barb – this is explained in the article. Thanks!
Truly the easiest and most delicious pie ever!
I can’t wait to make this!
Delicioso! My husband prefers pie over any other dessert, and he loved it! Gracias!
I love this recipe! So easy!! I do not care for regular pie crust, so I used half a roll of sugar cookie dough for the crust and fixed the filling exactly as listed. My husband, guests & I LOVED this pie with a bit of French vanilla ice cream & dollop of homemade whipped cream. So tasty & easy, I will make this often in the future!
Awesome and easy!
