Coconut Cream Pie #SundaySupper

For the love of pie! This rich, silky coconut cream pie is a showstopper perfect to share with friends.

If I am to be completely honest, I have a love hate relationship with pie. You see, I love eating a deliciously rich pie, there is nothing more comforting. The combination of the crust with the delicious filling gets me every time. But since I admittedly am not a baker, I have a hard time getting excited about making the dough. Usually frustrated after a couple of attempts, I give up on that buttery golden crust.

But yet, I love pies. Nothing makes me happier than when there is a pie at a get together with friends. To me, they are the epitome of hospitality, love and make you feel welcome. Whether a sweet or savory pie, when we share a pie, it screams welcome, I am here for you, so glad you stopped by.

Pies evoke that warm and inviting feeling that is synonymous with a comforting memory. 

That is exactly how I will always remember Coconut Cream Pie. It takes me back to years ago. After an exhausting day of moving into a new home and that uneasy feeling that comes from shifting into a new situation, a neighbor showed up at our door with the most beautiful Coconut Cream Pie we had ever seen.

Her recipe for the filling is so delicious that I promise you can use a store bought pie crust. Unless of course, you decide you want to create your own delicious and buttery pie crust – by all means, who am I to tell you no? I will leave that for the baking experts.

That pie screamed– welcome, we are glad you chose this neighborhood, we can’t wait to get to know you. It is true that food can evoke so many feelings and memories. I am excited to share my neighbor’s pie recipe with all of you. I have since then made this recipe and if I can bake this Easy Coconut Cream Pie recipe, trust me, you can too.
