Fresh From the Tree Coconut Pie Recipe

When we were sailing through the Bahamas last year we made a stop on Crooked Island. We had dinner at  “Gibson’s #2” a local delicious restaurant run by a friendly local, Willie. After our dinner we were served the BEST coconut pie we had ever had. I asked for Willie’s secret and tried to create this fresh from the tree coconut pie as best as I could.  Below is the coconut pie recipe 🙂
