Coconut Custard (Zucchini) Pie
Ingredients
- 1 C. peeled, chopped zucchini
- 1 C. sweetened flaked coconut, divided
- 2/3 C. sugar
- 1 1/2 C. milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Heat 1 inch of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add zucchini, cover, and steam until softened, about 5 minutes. In a blender or food processor, blend the cooked zucchini, 3/4 C. coconut, sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour into the pie crust, and sprinkle with remaining coconut and nutmeg. Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
