This rich and creamy coconut cream pie with a golden, crisp meringue topping is a delightful dessert perfect for any occasion. Enjoy a slice of tropical bliss!
Prepare the Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine all ingredients except for the coconut (flour, sugar, egg yolks, evaporated milk, water, vanilla, and butter). Microwave for 4 minutes.
Whisk and Add Coconut: After 4 minutes, remove the bowl from the microwave and whisk the mixture well. Stir in the shredded coconut.
Return to Microwave: Place the mixture back in the microwave and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Stir and Check Consistency: Stir the mixture again. If it’s thick enough for your liking, pour it into two pre-baked pie crusts.
Prepare the Meringue: Prepare meringue and spread it evenly over the pies. Top with a handful of coconut for extra flavor.
Bake the Pies: Place the pies in the oven at 375°F and bake until the meringue is golden brown. For a fully cooked meringue, bake instead of broiling.
