This soft custard pie has a mild coconut flavor. Who wouldn't love a hearty slice topped with a dollop of whipped cream? Betty Swain, Bear, Delaware

Tip

Creative Ice Cream Cones

If you're having an ice cream bar at your event, offer an assortment of decorated ice cream cones. Start by purchasing a variety of waffle, cake and sugar cones. Place toppings in separate small bowls. (Try flaked coconut, chopped nuts, colored sprinkles and chocolate jimmies.) Melt white and/or milk chocolate candy coating; dip the tops of the cones into the melted chocolate. Roll the chocolate-covered top of each cone into toppings of your choice. Set decorated cones in ice cream cone holders until chocolate is set. (If making these cute cones a few days in advance, store in airtight containers at room temperature, using waxed paper to separate layers.)

Excellent pie, my one change is that I toasted the coconut. It was amazing!

Everyone loved this and I agree, needs a bigger pie shell.

I made it without a crust and only 1/2 cup sugar. It was so good. If there were a chocolate topping it would taste like a famous candy bar. JPR

Coconut would probably be better if toasted first. The filling almost over-flowed my 9.5 inch Deep-dish pie pan; I would recommend making it in a 10 inch deep-dish pan.
