Coconut Pie Delight Without Crust

Introduction

Coconut Pie Delight Without Crust offers a silky, aromatic twist on traditional coconut pie that’s both light and luscious. The true magic of this dessert lies in how it forms its own “impossible” layers during baking: a custardy base topped with toasted coconut, all without the fuss of a traditional pastry crust.

This recipe is a lifesaver for those seeking a quick, gluten-free dessert that maximizes coconut’s naturally sweet flavor. Perfect for group gatherings, holiday tables, or a simple weeknight treat, it’s a fuss-free crowd-pleaser that delivers comfort and tropical flair in every slice.

Why You Should Try Coconut Pie Delight Without Crust

The absence of a crust means fewer ingredients, less prep time, and a dessert that’s a breeze to pull together. Yet, the flavor and texture are anything but simple. As it bakes, sweetened coconut rises to the top, creating a beautifully bronzed finish, while the interior remains creamy and soft.

Whether you’re looking to satisfy a coconut craving or need a sweet option for gluten-free guests, this pie delivers pure delight with minimal effort.

Prepping Ingredients for Creamy Perfection

To achieve the smoothest, most consistent custard, blend your wet ingredients and coconut together before baking. Using a reliable blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black will ensure your mixture is perfectly combined and airy, setting the stage for an even bake and rich texture.

Measuring your ingredients is key—especially for custard-based recipes. For precise results, use the Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display, Black and Stainless Steel to get the perfect balance, particularly with shredded coconut and sugar.

Baking and Cooling for the Perfect Finish

For flawless release and easy clean-up, line your baking dish with the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet. This will help prevent sticking so every slice holds together beautifully.

As the pie bakes, keep an eye out for a golden top and just-set custard. Cool the pie thoroughly before slicing to help the layers fully set and flavors meld.

Serving and Storing Coconut Pie Delight Without Crust

Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature for the dreamiest texture. Store leftovers in airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to maintain freshness and prevent the coconut from becoming soggy.

This pie is delicious alone, but you can add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional toasted coconut for an elegant finish. For extra flair at potlucks or parties, pre-slice and serve in individual containers.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with a square of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet for easy pie removal and clean-up.
2. In the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black, combine eggs, milk, sugar, flour, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Add the shredded coconut and pulse 2–3 times, or until well combined but not fully pureed—this gives the pie a pleasant texture.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. If desired, sprinkle a little extra coconut on top for a golden finish.
5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden and the center is just set (slightly wobbly in the middle is perfect). If unsure, a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking should register around 175°F in the center.
6. Let the pie cool completely in the pan, then slice and serve. Store any leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) in the fridge for up to 3 days.
