Coconut Custard Pie Recipe by Nancy Morgan

Light and delicate, but with plenty of body, custard pies are famous for their comedic appeal (Laurel and Hardy used 3,000 of them in one of their films) and it is interesting to note that while custard dates back to the 17th century as a stand-alone dessert, it stretches all the way to the Middle Ages as a pie and pastry filling. Nancy Morgan, a longtime family friend, submitted this delightful contemporary version.
