Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.

Today’s temptation is a lovely coconut cream pie. I used leftover Vanilla Biscotti & White Vanilla Chocolate for the crust, but you can just as well use other biscuits. The filling is a delicious Crème pâtissière with coconut, topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut. So tasty.

Here is the recipe.

I hope you are inspired to make this coconut cream pie, and as already mentioned you can use any biscuits you like, such as Oreos.

Have a great day everyone.
