I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this pie. The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious.
