  COCONUT CREAM: Place a can of coconut cream in the refrigerator the day before you make this pie. The next day, remove the can and open it. You will see two things: A thick cream, and a watery liquid. Discard the watery liquid, and spoon out 1 cup of that lovely coconut cream for this recipe.
• 
  Step 4
  THE PUMPKIN PUREE: You have two choices for the puree: Canned or Fresh. I would encourage you to try the fresh approach because once you do; you will never look at canned puree the same way again.
