This recipe was given to me by a relative. She reports that she found it in a McCalls Cookbook leaflet in the '60s. Made with fresh coconut, grated, it is the best I've ever eaten.

Tips:

Use fresh coconut meat for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have fresh coconut meat, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut. Just be sure to soak it in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be thick and creamy, but not too firm.
Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream.
