Ingredients
For the Filling:
-
¾ cup unsulfured molasses (not blackstrap)
-
½ cup brown sugar
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
-
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
-
¼ tsp salt
For the Crust:
-
1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges and place in the fridge while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together molasses, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add the melted butter while whisking, then fold in the shredded coconut.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle a bit of extra coconut or chopped pecans on top.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly puffed. The top should be golden and caramelized.
Let cool completely before slicing. Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
