• 1 cup white sugar

• 3/4 cup shredded coconut

Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 30 mins


• preheat oven to 450 degrees f (230 degrees c). press pie crust into a pie plate.
• mix sugar, milk, coconut, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, flour, and lemon zest together in a bowl. beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. fold lemon mixture into egg whites; pour into pie crust. loosely cover the crust with aluminum foil to prevent browning.
• bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c) and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. cool pie to room temperature, at least 30 minutes; top with whipped cream.
