Okay, here’s my blog post about making a sweetened condensed milk coconut pie, written in the style you requested:
Alright, so I decided to tackle a sweetened condensed milk coconut pie. I’d seen some recipes floating around, and it seemed easy enough, even for a baking-challenged person like myself.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed all the ingredients. I’m talking about the basics, nothing fancy:
- Sweetened condensed milk (obviously!)
- Shredded coconut (I went with the sweetened kind, because, why not?)
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract (a splash, you know)
- A pre-made pie crust (Listen, I’m not about that homemade crust life all the time.)
- Some butter (for greasing, and I used more)
Mixing It Up
I preheated my oven to, like, 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was warming up, I took a big bowl and dumped in the sweetened condensed milk. Then I cracked in the eggs, one by one. A little vanilla extract went in – just a splash, nothing crazy. I try to get a good quality of it.
Then I whisked everything together. I mean, I really went at it, making sure the eggs were totally mixed in and there were no weird clumps. It looked pretty smooth after a minute or two of serious whisking.
The Coconut Situation
Next, I poured in most of the shredded coconut. I say “most” because I wanted to save a little bit to sprinkle on top later, for that fancy, toasted coconut look. I folded the coconut into the mixture. That’s what the fancy recipes always say, “fold it in.” It basically means stir it gently, I think.
Crust Time
I grabbed my pre-made pie crust from the fridge. I greased the pie dish with a stick of butter and then I put the crust into the dish. I did melted butter in the pie crust and made it soft. Then I poured the coconut mixture into the crust. It filled it up pretty nicely, almost to the top.
Baking and Hoping
I sprinkled the rest of the coconut on top, and then I carefully put the pie in the preheated oven.
Then I proceed to wait about 40 minutes.
I stuck a toothpick in the center, and it came out clean, so I figured it was done!
Cooling and Eating
I took the pie out of the oven and let it cool down completely. I’m not gonna lie, that was the hardest part. It smelled amazing, all coconutty and sweet.
Finally it cooled down, I cut myself a slice,It was so good! Super easy, and definitely a winner. I’ll probably make this again, for sure.
