This light, zesty dessert is such a lovely departure from the more traditional pie offerings and is the perfect way to round out a summer dinner party. For the coconut crust, I use the macaroon recipe from my old copy of The Joy of Cooking.
Don’t cry over burnt crust! Coconut crusts can easily burn, so in the event that it does burn simply remove the darker bits once the crust has cooled.
