Notes
NOTE: Coconut pie is made by adding 2 cups coconut and using only 2 eggs.NOTE: I’ve never been able to get this to cook in less than 45 minutes. Because I didn’t want the crust to burn I reduced the temperature to 300° and cooked this pie over an hour. I tented the pie with foil after 30 minutes to avoid browning the crust.
