Coconut Cream Pie has to be one of THE best desserts ever, yes I love Oreos and the like but I would always pick this classic dessert any day over all the new trendy ones coming through! This is my own recipe for a pie that I make often. It's been a family-favorite dessert for decades. Coconut Cream Pie cannot be frozen or made too far in advance, as custard does not freeze particularly well and will make the pastry soggy if stored for too long. Although I love coconut cream pie, I never order it in restaurants.
