The Eckert's Coconut Cream Pie
Many families look forward to celebrating the holidays, not only to be surrounded by friends and loved ones, but also to dig into those once-a-year family-favorite recipe creations. You know the recipes I’m talking about—aunt Linda’s famous Apple Walnut Pie or Grandma’s Oyster Dressing—that make your mouth water just thinking about them. Although our family delights in exploring new variations of pumpkin and apple desserts and often presents an array of new recipes at family gatherings, the classic Eckert's Coconut Cream Pie has held its appeal throughout the years and is a MUST at our holiday gatherings.
Put this scrumptious pie on your holiday dessert table and there’s no going back!
