Step 3: Pour and Bake
Pour the custard filling into the prepared pie crust.
If you like, sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg — it adds a classic, old-fashioned aroma.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
(To test doneness, insert a knife near the center — it should come out mostly clean.)
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. This helps the custard finish setting.
You can serve it slightly warm, chilled, or at room temperature — it’s delicious either way.
Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top for extra flair!
Bonus Tip
Want an extra coconut boost? Replace half the milk with coconut milk — it deepens the flavor and makes the texture even creamier.
