  1. I LOVE this pie! Simple in both method & taste, the finished product highlights the vanilla & coconut flavors without a bunch of other things trying to compete. I used 2% milk & heavy whipping cream (I didn't know what 35% cream was) & could not be happier with the final result. Thank you for sharing, City_Gurl! Made & enjoyed for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef. :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in Toronto with my Mom, she loved to cook so I guess I come by my love of cooking naturally! Being a single Mom she had to work alot so I started helping in the kitchen at a young age. Now I am married to an Amazing Man and Mom of FOUR and spend more time in the kitchen then I care to admit....although I am not complaining, I actually love it!
