Four Ingredient Coconut Pie

December 10, 2014 by Meemaw 3 Comments

OK…So just call me “Doubting Thomas”…but when I read a recipe in that awesome book “The Four Ingredient Cookbook”…I doubted…OK?

http://fouringredientcookbook.com/

In fact…I doubted SO MUCH that I stopped making the pie-right in the middle of preparation, and I made up ANOTHER version of my own, just so I wouldn’t “waste” the FOUR ingredients I had already dumped into the bowl!

And that’s not all I did.  I even contacted the cookbook authors to make sure there had been no
mis-print in the cookbook!

After much reassurance, and a deep breath, I decided to try it again…so here goes…

 
INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1/4 C. buttermilk
2/3 C. butter, melted
2 C. coconut
 

 

 
Stir the four ingredients together, and pour into an unbaked pie shell.

 

 
Again, it seemed like there wasn’t enough “filling” for the size of the pie crust…
 
But I baked in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes…and 
 
VOILA!
 
 

A BEAUTIFUL PIE!  And now I realize…I add an extra-tall “crust rim” to my pies, so a regular crust would make the filling exactly the right height in the pan!  (Bigger is NOT always better, my friends!)

I am SO SORRY, Cookbook Ladies!!!
(I promise to trust you and ALL of your awesome Four Ingredient Cookbook recipes in the future!)

And the taste??

 
I’ll let these folks be the judges…

 

And it appears to be THUMBS UP…all around!
