GREAT GRANDMA'S COCONUT CREAM PIE
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!
