I really want to give this five stars, but I have to consider the whole family when I rate. I will make this again when I have company that are fans of coconut. My family was just too divided on the dessert. I loved the toasted coconut & almonds but thought the rest could have used a bit more flavor. Maybe a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg added into the crust next time (I made a homemade crust). DH didn't like the coconut at all, DS15 thought it was good but too coconutty & DD2 would only eat the creamy filling out of the mixing bowl but wouldn't touch it once the coconut was next to it. Thanks for sharing, Becky! Made for Fall 2008 Pick A Chef.

I tried this and it was wonderfully light and so good (i've always liked the taste of coconut and almonds together.) I don't know if you've updated this recipe since the last comment, but I found the pie crust and caramel topping on the ingredient list. Very, very good. Thanks for posting.
