PERSONAL NOTE from Ursula Taylor - folks I see no reason why after making and cooling slightly - instead of spooning into six dessert dishes that you could not then pour into an already baked pie shell and then top with the remaining coconut. Then just adjust exchanges, calories and carbohydrates to reflect the addition of the pie crust.
