Cloie's Coconut Macaroon Pie

Submitted by Susie in Texas

"Many years ago, when I was in grade school, I attended Catholic school. My mom used to bake one of these pies, every couple of weeks, to take to the rectory for the parish priests. It wasn't long before one of the sisters asked me if my mom might bake one of those delicious coconut pies for them too. So, it became a ritual for my mom to bake these and deliver them to the parish priests and nuns every few weeks. She enjoyed doing it and I always secretly thought those coconut pies did "wonders" for my report cards. :-)"

these pies are great. i used to make them for a cafe i used to work in on graveyard shift at slow times. i did one extra step to them i added a package of cream cheese to them. this made them richer but oh so worth it, my group of regular coffee drinkers would come in and ate the whole pie. some ordered whole ones to take home.

WARNING: This pie is for serious coconut lovers only! Chocked full of delicious coconut, this pie will certainly satisfy your sweet tooth! I can easily see why everyone wanted a piece of this action! Sinfully delicious! Serve in small portions, as this one is very rich! Thanks so much for sharing, Susie in Texas!

This was an ok recipe in my house. I added 1 tsp. of vanilla and 1 tsp. of coconut extract. I can't really put my finger on what was not to my liking. I love coconut but this didn't really work for me.
