This is the BEST coconut pie ever! My husband and I eat one every 2 days (no, we are not fat). <br/>I do add 1/4 teaspoon salt so it won't taste "flat." I also use a store-bought low-fat graham cracker crust. I toast the coconut for the topping. I gave 1/2 pie to some friends last night and they loved it too!

I love cooking. When it comes to recipes, I usually only use them for baking, and even then often end up changing them a fair bit. All of my baking is vegan.
