Fresh Coconut Cream Pie image

This recipe was given to me by a relative. She reports that she found it in a McCalls Cookbook leaflet in the '60s. Made with fresh coconut, grated, it is the best I've ever eaten.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this pie changed my mind. The coconut cream filling was light and fluffy, and the crust was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie is a bit of work to make, but it's definitely worth it. The filling is rich and creamy, and the crust is flaky and buttery. The coconut flavor is also very good, and it's not too overpowering. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie is not worth the effort. It's too time-consuming and the results are not that great. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out right. The filling was too runny and the crust was too soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was so easy to make, and it turned out so delicious! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust, and it worked perfectly. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the topping was the perfect finishing touch.
