I feel so bad not giving this 5 stars, because it sounded SO good. I love peaches and love coconut, and hadn't really thought to combine the two, but it sounded interesting. I think I would like the coconut with the peaches if there were not so much of it. Maybe the coconut would be okay as a part of a streusel type topping. I do like the use of orange juice in the peaches. It adds a nice tang. My peaches were quite juicy and maybe could have used a little more flour to thicken up nicely. I think I would like some cinnamon along with the nutmeg. Thanks for posting this! Made for 'please review my recipe' tag.

This is a recipe you wish you could give more than 5 stars to! Since there was no recipe for a specific type of crust, I decided to half the recipe and make 2 individual (non-crust) servings using ramekins. This is very easy to put together. I used 3 very ripe peaches total for a half pie recipe. I used freshly grated nutmeg and decided to leave out the sugar in the coconut mixture since coconut adds plenty of sweetness for our tastes. Since I was using ramekins, I kept the oven to 350F. first baking for 20 minutes, then adding the coconut topping and cooking an additional 20 minutes. This is a fabulous dream of a dessert that we will definitely be making again! :)
