Easy Coconut Rum Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup rum (preferably dark rum)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, rum, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Pour the Filling into the Pie Crust:
   Pour the coconut mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
4. Bake the Pie:
   Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. The center should not jiggle when you gently shake the pie.
5. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This will help the filling firm up as it cools.
6. Optional Garnish:
   You can top the pie with whipped cream or extra toasted coconut flakes if desired.

Enjoy!
