Make this luscious, creamy coconut pie with a graham cracker crust in no time! It’s loaded with tropical flavor and the best part is, besides the toasted coconut topping, is that you’ve got your own personal pie…right in a jar.
I absolutely love it when summer rolls around. Life slows down a bit and there seems to be a little less stress in the air. Maybe it’s the fact that school is out, and many folks plan vacations this time of year that just makes people seem a little bit happier.
I am one of those people. While I’m not a big fan of the heat, it’s really great to sleep in a little, check off a couple of books from your summer reading list, and spend time outside.
Summer is also a prime entertaining time. Having folks over for a cookout, enjoying an outdoor concert, or just relaxing with a few friends is what’s on my “to-do list” when the days get long.
No summer engagement would be complete without good food. Grilling is always a favorite way to get friends to the table, but let’s not forget that one special treat everyone loves…dessert.
Every year, I try to make a special sweet treat that I know my guys will love, and this year is no different. With the help of Dixie Crystal Sugar and Adam’s Vanilla Extract, I put together something new that was an instant hit – No Bake Coconut Cream Pie In A Jar.
A sweet treat for family or friends doesn’t have to be hard to make. With just a few easy steps, a much loved recipe can be turned into something special!
