Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust store-bought works fine, nobody’s judging
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar trust the process
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 1 stick melted butter
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine:
  • Sugar
  • Coconut
  • Eggs
  • Vinegar
  • Vanilla
  • Melted butter
  • Salt
  • Whisk it all together until smooth and slightly thick.
  • Pour the mixture into your unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the center jiggles just a bit.
  • Cool completely before slicing. Even better the next day (if it lasts that long).

Notes

  • Don’t skip the vinegar — it balances the sweetness like magic.
  • Unsweetened coconut can work, just add a little extra sugar.
  • Store covered in the fridge, up to 4–5 days. Warm it up or eat cold — it’s perfect either way.
