OLD FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE

Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie – the perfect ending to any meal! It is hands-down the best coconut pie we’ve ever eaten. I took this to a potluck and it was gone in a flash. Coconut, sugar, cornstarch, coconut milk, half-and-half, eggs, salt, vanilla, pie crust, and fresh whipped cream. Seriously delicious! #pie #coconutcreampie #dessert
