This incredibly simple coconut pie is courtesy of my mother. She has been cooking it for years thanks to the Mitchell Park Primary School Parents’ Association 1992 Cookbook.
This is a very dense and moist pie that travels well. You can pack it in a lunch box or take it to a friend’s house without worrying that it’ll disintegrate en route.
Boasting a satisfyingly chewy crust, it’s sweet but not overly so, making it perfect for those odd types who say they don’t like sweet things. These people invariably ask for “just a taste” and then proceed to eat most of your serve.
Sound familiar, Mr Hungry Australian?
