This coconut pie recipe, I've really gone to find it, has been around 50 years in the past to be exact. A moms recipe from the '50s and '60s, this extra-rich and creamy tart is garnished with coconut.

A quick and easy to prepare recipe that requires little to no refrigeration. It's not the best American candy from a gastronomic standpoint, but it will give you a good idea of what kind of candy we had in the days when cars were pink or light blue, where all men had a mustache and a suit, and women generally stayed at home with an apron around their waists.
It is also a very good recipe for beginners, because there is no difficulty if you carefully watch the cooking of the device, because the thickening occurs suddenly, and it should not be thick either.
