This recipe has been passed down through the generations. My great grandma always made this pie, then my grandmother took over, and now it isn't a holiday unless this pie is there. Posting here for safekeeping as I would be heartbroken if my well worn recipe page ever got lost...

Be prepared to have no leftovers when you serve this fantastic coconut cream pie. It's light, fluffy, and super creamy. Perfect for a holiday dessert but easy enough to serve when company is coming for dinner. We opted to lightly toast the coconut and highly suggest taking the extra step. So good!
