Step-by-Step Method

7-step method
01

Preheat and prep

Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. If you’re using a ready-made crust, set it on a baking sheet. If making a crumb crust, you can pre-bake it for 5–7 minutes to firm it up.

02

Mix the base

In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and sugar until smooth. Add the lime juice and zest, then mix briefly to combine.

03

Add coconut and rum

Fold in the shredded coconut. If using rum, pour it in and stir until the filling looks evenly mixed.

04

Fill the crust

Pour the filling into the crust and level the top with a spatula. Make sure it reaches the edges in an even layer.

05

Bake to set

Bake for 18–22 minutes. The center should still have a gentle jiggle; don’t overbake or the top may crack.

06

Cool and chill

Let it cool on the counter for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) so it slices neatly.

07

Serve

Slice and serve cold. Finish with lime slices or a little extra zest for a fresh aroma.
