Tips:
- Use ripe pears: This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor. You can check if a pear is ripe by gently pressing on its skin. If it gives slightly, it's ripe.
- Don't overmix the streusel topping: You want the streusel to be crumbly, so be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing will make the streusel tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that your pie is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will give the filling time to set.
- Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make your pie even more delicious.

This coconut streusel pear pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
