Coconut Macaroon Pie has a luscious custard filling with oodles of shredded coconut. The coconut on top gets a little bit browned and chewy and is such a wonderful contrast to the super sweetness of the custard.
This Coconut Macaroon Pie, like many pies, is ridiculously easy to make. That’s why they say easy as pie, isn’t it?
The filling can be mixed in just a matter of minutes, using only a bowl and a whisk. You can bake it in a refrigerated pie crust or a homemade pie crust.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 Large Eggs
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Butter– I use salted, but unsalted is fine.
- Almond Extract– a little almond extract goes a long way so we onlu use half a teaspoon.
- Salt
- All-Purpose Flour– helps thicken and set the filling.
- Sweetened Shredded Coconut
- Unbaked Pie Crust– you can use a homemade pie crust or a store-bought one.
Homemade Pie Crust
I recommend a homemade pie crust. Watch the video below to learn how to make an easy pie crust with White Lily flour from Linda Carman, the director of the Martha White test kitchen. Linda has lots of wonderful tips and you really can’t go wrong with this flaky pie crust. It is so easy!
Coconut Filling
The filling is made from 2 eggs, a can of sweetened condensed milk, butter, and flour, plus lots of shredded coconut. A little almond extract adds some flavor. The filling needs just 40 to 45 minutes in the oven to set.
If you’re like me, when you see there’s a can of sweetened condensed milk in a recipe, you know you’re going to like it. I mean, does it get any better than sweetened condensed milk?
For the coconut lover, this Coconut Macaroon Pie is pure heaven. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate coconut dessert. It’s like eating a whole bunch of coconut macaroon cookies in a pie crust!

Such a delicious coconut pie. Husband and I love it. I will be making it again.
I am not much of a baker but found a recipe for this pie in a cookbook. It was close but instead of SCM it called for sugar and TWO Cups of milk.. sounded ridiculous but I just thought maybe that is what makes it fluffy. Wrong! After baking for the hour it was completely runny liquid with a soggy crust. So I decided to try again after finding this recipe. It was delicious and I ate instead of drank lol.
DELICIOUS, will make it again. Thank you
Should use deep dish pie crust, order than that it is very good.
Strange little concoction but very nice and tasty . Super easy to make and well worth the time.
Love coconut and can’t wait to make it! About how many days ahead of a holiday can you make it? I saw above that you can refrigerate it but wasn’t sure about how long. Have lots of baking to do! Thanks for any help.
I would say 2 to 3 days ahead of time.
The person for loved this and I am making another one for tonight. Do you refrigerate left overs? Should this be served warm?
I do refrigerate leftovers and it is personal preference as to whether to serve it cold or warm.
This coconut pie is as good as all that! Very easy to put together, really satisfies the sweet tooth. Definitely try it.
The pie looks so pretty, Christin! My mom is a huge fan of coconut, so I need to keep this in mind. I love the custard filling!
You are master in Cake making, I love your Recipe. will keep it in mind for upcoming Birthday
