Coconut Cream Pie Day is a food holiday on May 8 celebrating a classic dessert featuring a flaky pie crust, creamy coconut custard filling, and a topping of whipped cream and toasted coconut.
This is a day for pie lovers to enjoy a slice, bake their own, or share their favorite recipes.
Coconut Cream Pie Day became popular in the USA in the early 20th century, when shredded and dried coconut became widely available.
