Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
-
Spread half of the flaked coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden. Watch closely to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk, hot water, vanilla extract, salt, and ground nutmeg to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pastry shell.
-
Sprinkle the remaining untoasted coconut evenly over the top of the custard.
-
Bake for 10 minutes at 425ðF, then reduce the oven temperature to 325ðF (160ðC) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
