In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2.
Add the sweetened condensed coconut milk and egg yolk to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients come together to form a ball of dough.
- 3.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a minute until smooth.
- 4.
Flatten the dough into a disc shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the dough to chill.
- 5.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 6.
After chilling, unwrap the dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a round shape slightly larger than your pie pan.

Remove the top parchment paper and carefully flip the rolled-out dough onto your pie dish. Press it gently into the pan, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and sides.

Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges of the pan and crimp the edges according to your preference.
