Coconut Cream Pie

Perfect way to celebrate Pi Day!

I had everything I needed to make this pie in my pantry - even coconut extract! The custard comes together in minutes. In fact, just as I was beginning to wonder if it would thicken at all, it became thick and creamy in seconds.

The pie was creamy but firm. It was topped with whipped cream (to which I also added a splash of coconut extract) and shredded coconut.

Although the pie takes a while to cool, it comes together easily and quickly.
