Ingredients
  • 112 oz bag unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4lb softened butterused salty butter if you like that sweet-salty thing
Instructions
  1. Set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put the coconut in a bowl. Add the butter. Knead the ingredients together until they are an homogenous mass
  3. Pat the coconut-butter mixture into the pie pan like you would a crumb crust. If you press down hard you will get a more candy-like crust. If you lightly tap it in the crust will be more chewy-fluffy.
  4. Bake crust for 10 to 15 minutes or more if you like a very toasty coconut flavor. Basically you can let your eyes and your nose guide you. The deeper the color, the crispier the crust. The lighter the color, the chewier it will be. As always, if the edges are browning too fast pull the crust out of the oven and wrap the edges with aluminum foil then pop it back into the oven.
  5. That’s it! Crazy easy, right?
