Method

  1. 1Preheat the Traeger Woodridge Pro to 350°F.
  2. 2Mix the graham crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt, then press firmly into an even layer in a baking dish — use the bottom of a glass to really pack it down.
  3. 3Bake the crust for 10–15 minutes, until set — pre-baking keeps the custard from soaking through.
  4. 4Whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lime zest, and salt, then stir in the shredded coconut.
  5. 5Pour the custard directly over the hot, pre-baked crust and return to the Traeger at 350°F.
  6. 6Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the custard is set with just a slight jiggle in the centre.
  7. 7Cool completely, then slice into squares and serve.

More information, cause recipe back stories are stupid

No 500-word life story — just the good-to-know stuff on what’s actually in this cook. Here’s the rundown on every real ingredient, health and nutrition wise.

Citrus
Citrus brightens rich, smoky food and brings vitamin C and antioxidants along with its acidity. A squeeze at the end cuts fattiness and lifts flavour without added salt or sugar.
Butter
Butter adds richness and helps carry sauce into the meat, but it's high in saturated fat and calories, so it works best as a finishing touch rather than by the cupful.
Salt
Salt is essential for seasoning and, in brines and cures, for texture and safety — but sodium adds up fast in BBQ. Season with intention and balance salty cooks with fresh sides.
Sugar
Sugar balances salt and heat and helps build bark and glaze, but it's a source of empty calories — rubs and sauces use it for flavour and browning, so a little goes a long way.
Coconut
Coconut adds richness and fibre, and it's high in saturated fat, so like other rich ingredients it's best enjoyed as a treat.
Eggs
Eggs are an inexpensive source of complete protein and provide choline, vitamin D, and B12, with most of the nutrients held in the yolk.
