Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 2 unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 2 semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and optionally pre-bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, followed by the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
  7. Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the best texture and flavor.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with whipped cream or extra coconut flakes.
