Tasty Tuesday

French Coconut Pie


This is one of those recipe's I have had in my recipe book for 30 years or more. I have no idea where it came from but it's Tried and True! And if you like coconut? You'll love this!! It's one of my favorites.


It is very rich. This is another one of those recipes that only gets cooked at holidays. Any more than once or twice a year and it will kill ya. Just take a look at the butter, sugar and eggs in this thing.


This is the easiest recipe ever. I PROMISE, even if you don't cook, the only way to mess this up is to not cook it long enough or forget it and burn it.



Be sure to check it because all ovens are different and you want to make sure it is done. It might look a little better with a dollop of whip cream but it sure doesn't need it for the taste.


French Coconut Pie

1 stick butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coconut

Melt butter, add eggs and sugar, beat well. Add vinegar and vanilla beat until blended. Stir in cup of coconut. Pour into an unbaked DEEP pie crust and bake at 350* for one hour. Use the clean knife technique to make sure it is done. Cool completely before cutting. Very rich and yummy!

I love coconut pies. Luke grandma is making her Fresh Coconut Cream pie for Thanksgiving (lots of whipped cream, coconut, melted marshmallows, etc). Maybe I'll do this one for Christmas! Sounds like it needs a holiday to be baked for due to the calories!
