You can’t go wrong with any sort of ‘cream pie.’  Banana cream, chocolate cream, peanut butter cream, lemon cream, vanilla cream…whatever flavor you prefer, the filling is always a rich, satisfying stirred custard chilled into a flaky baked pie crust.  Traditionally, cream pies get their name from a thick layer of whipped cream atop the chilled custard, but for this yummy coconut custard version, the coconut-flavored custard is simply topped with toasted coconut instead.  Luscious on its own without the cream, if you are missing the creamy layer on top, don’t fret! Go ahead and add it, plus the toasted coconut!
