grammie’s coconut pie

by

I am so happy to find a pie recipe from my Grammie. I wasn’t sure if I would or not. I know that Grandpa loved coconut too, so this pie was made quite often. Now, her recipe calls for a meringue topping which is fairly easy to make. It makes this coconut pie a little more fancy for those special occasions and holidays too.

This coconut pie is such a treat! Its buttery crust is topped with a creamy and sweet filling, with crunchy bits of coconut in every bite. After baking, the light and airy meringue topping is golden brown, with a sprinkle of sweet toasted coconut.
