Double Coconut Meringue Pie
"Great coconut flavor and mile-high meringue! The filling is cooked in the microwave, so no stirring over a hot stove (although you could easily do it on the stove if you prefer). To make a TRIPLE coconut meringue pie, use a coconut pie-crust."

My favorite pie is coconut cream, and this is over the top with flavor. Not too hard to make, either!
