I'm not a huge fan of coconut, so I omitted it from the recipe. The pie was still delicious.

The filling was a bit runny, but the flavor was still good. I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
