This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream to help balance out the sweetness.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and this pie is the perfect way to use them up.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened coconut milk, so I used sweetened coconut milk instead. The pie was still good, but it was a little too sweet.
