Easy Coconut Custard Pie

We like coconut so we had to try this recipe from "Land O Lakes Best Loved Recipes".  It actually forms a pie crust at the bottom of the pie plate that is very much like regular pie crust!  It’s so easy; I just mixed it in a 2 quart measure with my egg beater and poured in the prepared pie plate.  We liked it better cold.
