Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• ¼ cup dulce de leche
• 1 cup butter, cubed and at room temperature
• 6 ounces shredded unsweetened coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

Combine flour, butter, and 2 eggs in a food processor; pulse several times until a soft pastry dough ball is formed and easily separates from the bowl; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Grab pieces of dough, flatten with your hands, and cover the base and sides of springform pan. Spread a thin layer of dulce de leche over the pastry base.

Step 4

Mix sugar, coconut, 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract together in a bowl using a wooden spoon or your hands until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Distribute mixture evenly over dulce de leche layer.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Cool pie to room temperature before removing the springform.
