Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into a pie dish to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until well combined. The mixture will thicken slightly as the lemon juice reacts with the other ingredients.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. This step is crucial for the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
  4. Add the Topping: Once the pie is set, spread whipped topping over the surface. You can use a spatula for a smooth finish or create decorative swirls for a more whimsical look.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes or lemon zest for added flavor and visual appeal. Slice and enjoy this delightful Lemon Sugar Coconut Cream Pie!

Notes

  • Chill Your Ingredients: Ensure your coconut milk and whipped topping are chilled for a better texture.
  • Use Fresh Lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide the brightest flavor compared to bottled varieties.
  • Don’t Rush the Cooling: Allow the pie to cool completely in the fridge to set properly for the best texture.
  • Toast Coconut Flakes: Toasting the coconut before garnishing enhances its flavor and adds a lovely crunch.
  • Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk based on your sweetness preference.
