I’ve mentioned before that there are only a few flavors or flavor combinations that both my husband and I enjoy.
One of those is coconut.
And neither of us is really pie people.
My dad would make several different pies every thanksgiving, and his coconut cream pie was always my favorite.
So good!
When we were first married, we went to a church activity and someone had brought this version with white chocolate (in pie form) and we both fell in love.
We’ve had it about once a year since then, without fail.
This time I decided to make it in bar form.
Not for any particular reason, I just thought I’d give it a try.
There are several things I love about this recipe:
1. The crust. I’ve always preferred graham cracker crust to traditional, and this one takes it to another level by adding coconut into the crust as well!
2. The layer of white chocolate on top of the crust. Nothing bad about that, I can tell you.
3. It’s topped with simple sweetened whipped cream.
As with most cream pies, this one takes a little effort to get the cream part right.
But, I am no expert and I’ve been able to get it right every time following these directions.
Hopefully it works out for you too!
