- ½ cup real butter melted
- 3 eggs beaten well and room temp
- 1 teaspoon REAL Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon real almond extract
- ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg fresh grated is best
- ½ Cup packed sweetened coconut flakes

- Place the pie on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the filling is firm and starting to puff up. You will notice that the top of the pie is a golden color. This will take 45 - 55 minutes.

Notes
- This lovely old coconut custard pie graced your grandmother's cook book and now it graces yours!
- Here are some important tips:
- If you want to freshly grate your coconut for this pie, that would be the BEST. However, the kind you find already flaked in the grocery store baking aisle will do just fine.

- You can substitute whole milk for the coconut milk, however, I think the coconut milk adds more flavor that you will love.
