For those people who love cream pies, this is a sure fire hit. Never fails!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a simple coconut cream pie recipe everyone will enjoy. The melted marshmallows firm up when cooled. They help to hold the pie together when folded into the cream. Once chilled, it's a fluffy, creamy, and super dreamy coconut cream pie. Make sure to chill the pie until just cool. If it's chilled too long, it will be too firm and hard to fold in the whipped cream.

How To Make foolproof coconut cream pie
