Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a blender, combine the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, gluten-free baking mix, vanilla extract, and salt. If you don't have a blender, you can use a large mixing bowl and a whisk.
Blend on medium speed for about 1 minute, or whisk vigorously, until the batter is completely smooth and slightly frothy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Stir in the 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut with a spatula. Pour the entire batter mixture into your prepared pie dish. The coconut will float to the top, which is normal.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. The pie is done when the center is nearly set (it should only have a slight jiggle) and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The top will be a beautiful golden brown. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This pie is delicious served warm or chilled.
Notes
Storage: Cover and store any leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.Toasted Coconut Topping: For extra flavor and texture, toast an additional 1/4 cup of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden. Sprinkle over the pie before serving.Variations: Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the batter for a classic custard flavor.
