This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. They said it reminded them of the coconut cream pie they used to get at the bakery.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this pie. The coconut filling was not too sweet and the crust was perfectly flaky. I would definitely make this pie again.
