LUBY'S CAFETERIA COCONUT MERINGUE PIE
I think this is a wonderful coconut cream pie recipe. I got it out of the Luby's Cafeteria 50th Anniversary cookbook. I am posting it in response to a recipe request. Coconut lovers will love this rich, creamy pie. I don't have a clue as to the prep time. I did not include baking the pie crust in the cook time.
