Instructions

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.
