Crustless Coconut Pie - sweetened with agave & honey

No crust to this pie? You question. It actually creates it's own crust as it bakes. Do NOT use a pie shell for this pie. All you need is a pie pan and the following ingredients...

  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) melted (I used unsalted butter)
  • 1/3 cup Agave nectar - Amber
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 & 3/4 cups milk
  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (I used Bob's Red Mill)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and add the agave, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Since the butter is still a little warm in this phase, add 3/4 cup of milk to cool it before adding the eggs. Follow the eggs with the rest of the milk and the flour. I used a whisk to ensure everything was mixed together well. Add the coconut, coating it will the liquid mixture.

Pour into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate and bake for about 35 minutes. Let cool before slicing, and run a thin knife around the rim of the pie plate before cutting.
Do not put in a pie crust - this dessert makes its own.
