Coconut Chess Pie
My Daddy loves an old timey recipe. He loves it even more if it takes a really long time to make. In fact, if he thinks it took you 4 hours to make a dish, it holds a special place in his heart.
But, we all know that longer preparation doesn't always make a better recipe. Sometimes, the quickest, easiest recipes are the most delicious!
That’s why I love this Coconut Chess Pie. This recipe originated from the Baptist Women of the First Baptist Church of Gaston, South Carolina. It takes a quick 15 minutes to prep and then you just pop it into the oven. It’s delicious and makes a great dessert for any occasion! Enjoy!
