So this Sunday is Father's Day, as you all know, and I want to make the dude a Coconut Cream Pie in celebration. I am the worst cook on the planet. Anyone know of any recipes that are easy???

I've googled a few that are low calorie and some that are not. I just wondered if anyone had any unique spins on theirs or recipes that are kitchen-illiterate-proof.

:]

    My husband isn't really a fan of cream pies, so I typically just make him a sammich.

    It's his favorite dessert, but I'm just not confident that I can pull one of those off...

    No. You can call me nuts, but I have an allergy to them.

    Ha ha. That made me gag. Hard to do....

    SofaKing: That'd be awesome!!! I actually may be paying a friend to make one just to ensure that at least one of them is edible for him. I'm terrified I'm going to be like, "Happy Father's Day.... hope you don't get food poisoning."

    Are you going to tell him that he's eating a cream pie that someone else made, or are you going to keep it a secret? If he finds out later, he might get upset.

    Girls should not be giving cream pies, the should be receiving them!
    True! Your man should be giving you one! Take him into the kitchen, and demand a cream pie.

    If I have her make one, then I'm going to have him try mine first and if I can tell it tastes like ****, I'm going to let him eat the one that she made. I want to show that I put the effort in though and... Eh.. I just want him to appreciate it, but not get sick, ha ha.

    If you're that worried you'll mess it up and aren't too familiar with cooking, I'd stick to a classic version of coconut cream pie for now. Also, I don't believe in low fat desserts for special occassions like birthdays. If you're having dessert, really HAVE dessert! Just fit it into your calories or get in a workout... or do nothing, one day will make no difference. I've tried this recipe, it's very easy but results are so yum.
    Ingredients

    * 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
    * 1.5 cups coconut milk (canned)
    * 1.5cups half-and-half
    * 2 whole eggs and 1 yolk, beaten
    * 3/4 cup white sugar
    * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    * 1/4 teaspoon salt
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
    * 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
    3. In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie.
    4. Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours.
    5. Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut.

    good luck :)
