Found this recipe in an old cookbook at Half-Priced Books, and bought it for this recipe alone. It claimed to have been a past contest winner, and once I made it, I understood why. My husband still asks for this one, after years and years of having it. It will quickly become a go-to dessert for you once you taste how delicious it is.

    *NOTE: This pie is just as delicious without the coconut, so you can omit that if you would like. My husband prefers it without the coconut, so I've made it both ways many times, and they are equally as divine. <--- This is a pic of it without the coconut.
