The crust was a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding a little more butter or oil to the crust mixture.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling by about 1/4 cup.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The coconut crust was actually really good, and the lemon filling was perfectly tart and sweet. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie was easy to make and very delicious. The coconut crust was a nice change from the traditional graham cracker crust. I would definitely make this pie again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the filling. I found it to be a bit too tart for my taste.
