oconut Heads up coconut lovers, this pie is amazing, totally decadent, and the coconut crust is absolutely awesome. The crust takes it from ordinary to sublime.
Back in August of 2002, I emailed the L.A. Food Times regarding a recipe that I had gotten from their S.O.S. site and lost. We made it several times and it was one of those special to-die-for recipes, so I was not a happy camper when I misplaced the recipe.
After writing to them, they reposted the recipe for me in their food column, I came across it again today and wanted to put it on Jan CAN Cook before I lost it again. If you want a truly wonderful dessert, forget about the calories and make this. It’s really special.
