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.

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 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.
