This Is Our Go To Dessert When We Need Something Easy And Delicious
Last year I switched jobs and was very fortunate to become close friends with a few co-workers very quickly. We had a ton in common, including being new moms, and instantly clicked. We even began involving our families in our friendship, hosting cookouts at hour houses and attending concerts and sporting events together.
So I shouldn’t have been surprised at all when I walked home on the night of my 30th birthday to a surprise party hosted by these two wonderful women and my husband. In tears (what can I say—I’m a happy crier!) I hugged and thanked them about a million times before finally composing myself to actually join the party.
The night was kicked off by a round of happy birthday sung by all the kids, and my daughters presenting me with a homemade birthday card. Then we settled in for dinner (pizza from my favorite local pizza joint) conversation. As we were finishing up our pizza my mind wanderd to dessert. I’m not a huge fan of cake (yes, I know that’s strange!), so was wondering what they might have gotten instead.
I didn’t have to wonder much longer because my husband walked out of the kitchen with the most perfect dessert in his hands—coconut cream pie.

Quick tip: Toast the coconut before adding it to the top for extra flavor and an impressive finish.
