Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Filling

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

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and set, then allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  3. Fold in the Coconut Flakes: Gently fold in the coconut flakes into the lemon filling mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Pour the Filling into the Crust: Carefully pour the creamy filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
  5. Top with Whipped Topping: Once the pie is set, spread whipped topping over the surface. You can add more coconut flakes or lemon zest on top for garnish.

Notes

  • Chill the Ingredients: For a lighter pie, chill your mixing bowl and whisk before making the filling.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh lemons for juice and zest to enhance the flavor significantly.
  • Don’t Overmix: When folding in the coconut flakes, do so gently to maintain the airy texture of the filling.
  • Allow to Set: Be patient and let the pie chill long enough to fully set for the best slice.
  • Garnish Just Before Serving: Add the whipped topping close to serving time to keep it fresh and fluffy.
