My Friend's Old Fashioned Coconut Custard Pie image

My good friend & co-worker, Colleen, used to bring this pie to our company pot-lucks. It disappeared like new fallen snow every time, and sometimes caused a scuffle or two...it is that good!! Before she retired she shared the recipe with a few of us. My husband can eat the whole thing in 1 night! On top of that, it is easier...

I love the toasted coconut on top of this pie. It adds a nice crunch and flavor.

This pie is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this pie. The filling is creamy and smooth, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

I had some trouble getting the pie crust to roll out properly. Other than that, the pie turned out great.

The crust was a bit soggy, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.

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