Truly the BEST Coconut Cream Pie EVER! This is my Dad's favorite pie and it is truly amazing! Made with coconut milk for extra creamy, coconut flavor! 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. i love Claire's Coconut Cream Pie recipe so much, i pinned it twice! i'd add more coconut to both crust and custard, but i love the simple whipped cream topping. This is the ultimate Coconut Cream Pie!
