Lemon Cake Pie Recipe
- 1 10-inch pie crust, unbaked
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
- Mix sugar, milk, coconut, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, flour, and lemon zest together in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Fold lemon mixture into egg whites; pour into pie crust. Loosely cover the crust with aluminum foil to prevent browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Cool pie to room temperature, at least 30 minutes; top with whipped cream.
