Coconut Pie Recipe by www.dish-away.com

What do you do when you have a food expert for dinner? When your special guest just happens to be an expert in flavors? How do you pick the dishes you will prepare?

A few months ago we were hosting a very special guest. Our guest was the owner of Gerards ice cream, one of the top ice-cream shops in Jordan. The person behind every flavor of ice cream they sell! For me, the big challenge was preparing a special dish that will suit his taste and demonstrate my culinary skills.

I started searching online for a good and easy dish and by chance I found this coconut pie recipe that had an excellent rating by visitors and many positive reviews. I also discovered that another version of coconut pie can be prepared by adding bananas to it. I decided to give it a try… the end result? Great!!!! To top that this coconut pie smells like heaven.

Upon serving this to our special guest, his response was “Now this is something!” My dinner was a success and this coconut pie recipe is definitely a keeper.

  • Spread the batter onto a greased and floured pan. I use a 24-25cm round pan (9.5-10 inch pan) so as to have a nice and thick the pie.
  • Bake the coconut pie in a preheated oven at 425°F (225°C) for 40 minutes.

Coconut pie can be served hot or cold, with custard or ice cream or simply sprinkle some powder sugar on top. Personally, I prefer it cold.
