Mom-Mom Bessie’s Coconut Molasses Pie
I'm the keeper of my husband's grandmother's handwritten recipe book. Mom-Mom Bessie was one of the best cooks I knew, and we think of her every time we make this pie. The flavor combination of coconut and molasses is a family favorite. —Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

My grandmother used to make the same sort of pie, but I don't remember the ingredients. To me, this sounded a lot like a pecan pie, and since I love pecans, I threw about 3/4 cup of them into the liquid mix. This pie was awesome! Now I know I can do it either way, but I always remember the whipped cream or ice cream!
This is a great cake for a family of molasses lovers like mine. Quick and easy to make, with ingredients found in your pantry. And let’s not forget delicious! I served it with vanilla ice cream.
The recipe was delicious. The only change I made was using light corn syrup instead of dark. Great molasses flavor--not overpowering.
