Since this Coconut Banana Cream Pie is actually two-for-one deal—coconut cream pie and banana cream pie—it's perfect for those of us (ahem, me) who want a little bite of every holiday dessert. This is the ultimate Coconut Cream Pie! It's similar to my Banana Cream Pie recipe but uses coconut milk and dried coconut in the pastry cream filling to. The use of a refrigerated pie crust makes it easy and the whipped cream makes it fun and stunning. Not to be confused with Cream Pie.
