I couldn't tell you the last time I made a Coconut Cream Pie. Made this as per the recipe except added about 1 1/2 cups coconut. I used Flaky Pie Crust recipe #20984 for the crust and my Mile High Meringue Recipe #159987 instead of the whipped cream. Adding the meringue is a hold over from childhood. This was definately a hit with my family.
