GREAT GRANDMA’S COCONUT CREAM PIE

Grandma sure could bake some amazing desserts. Many of her recipes were passed down over the years, and are still cherished to this day. Since Grandma wasn’t concerned about making desserts healthy or skinny, we’ve come up with a healthier version of her classic, mouthwatering Coconut Cream Pie. We cut the sugar by half and added real shredded coconut, making it a still delicious but healthier version of Grandma’s coconut pie. Plus, there is only 1 tablespoon of butter for the entire filling!

YOU’LL NEED:

1 C milk
1 C sweetened, flaked coconut
1 C light cream
1/2 C sugar
2 Tbsp. corn starch

5-Add egg mixture to the milk mixture in the double boiler.
