Tips:

  • Use ripe fruit. The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The pie filling will expand as it bakes, so it's important to leave some room at the top of the crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

A piece of the tropics pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tropical treat, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
