There's no better way to top off a scrumptious dinner than with a big slice of this yummy coconut custard pie. With a mild taste of coconut and the sweet taste of custard, you'll be wanting to go back for seconds. If desired, top with toasted coconut or better yet, some whipped cream.

Coconut Custard Pie

• Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, chopped
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2-1/2 cups 2% milk
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Toasted sweetened shredded coconut, optional

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Line a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate with pastry. Line pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake 10 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle coconut over crust; set aside. Reduce oven setting to 350°.
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla and salt. Pour over coconut; sprinkle with nutmeg.
3. Bake, uncovered, 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate leftovers.
