Mama’s Coconut Pie

My father loves coconut deserts and Mama came up with this simple to make, delightful pie to serve the family.  It has become a tradition to in our family to serve it around the holidays, birthdays and other special occasions. It’s quite a rich pie and goes wonderfully with a cup of coffee.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

7-ounce package of shredded coconut
