Coconut Custard Pie

OK, I'm going to show my age here. Whenever I hear about Coconut Custard Pie I think about Mary Ann making a coconut cream pie for Gilligan, because that was his favorite on Gilligan's Island. Now, Coconut Cream Pie is my mother's favorite pie. Unfortunately, Gilligan always seems to come to mind first.

Don't tell my mother.
