Coconut Custard Pie
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 refrigerated pastry shell (9 inches)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-3/4 cups fat-free milk
- Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Place coconut in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350u0b0 for 4 minutes, stirring several times; set aside. (Coconut will not be fully toasted.)
- Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450u0b0 for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 4-6 minutes longer. Cool.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and salt for 5 minutes. (Mixture will be lemon-colored and slightly thickened.) Add the milk, sugar substitute, coconut extract and vanilla. Transfer to crust. (Crust will be full.)
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and coconut is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate.
