I had the most amazing coconut cream pie when I was in Hawaii and I wanted to try and replicate this creamy, sweet dessert…I’m pretty confident I did. What I love about this pie is that it is sweet but not too sweet and you can taste coconut but not too much coconut. I definitely recommend this dessert if you want to impress your guests or are just looking for a light and creamy, delicious  dessert. Enjoy!
