I've made this recipe for many years and it always comes out delicious every time. I had lost my recipe and was so upset, but decided to see if it was online and there it was. Thank you Lord. I'm a happy again.

I've made this pie many times and it is incredible! Sometimes I will replace one box of vanilla pudding with coconut pudding. Easy and excellent, always a hit.
