Personal Notes:
This won the pie making contest at Weiser 1st ward's Pioneer Day festivities. It really is delicious. Some suggestions for it were to only use 1 1/2 c. of half and half and add 1 1/2 c. of coconut milk. I think I'd like to try it this way. I'd also like to just try it with untoasted coconut inside the pie and leave the toasted kind for the topping. Those are my suggestions on making it better.
