Ok, so I'm sitting here eating this pie thinking, "Yeah... People need to know about this..." So yeah, Imma tell you about it :)I was inspired to make this whist looking up raw brownies to make and coming across this amazing raw food website that does insanely amazing raw cakes! It's right here. So. Amazing.
Anyway, I was trying to go by this one recipe, but threw in the hat because it wasn't working. You see, I had a young coconut to be used. Pronto. And nobody has a pie recipe with coconut meat in it. So I made one. So now there is one! yay! :) Also, it's in the ice-cream! (which is my recipe too.)

How to open a young coconut...
Cut soft layer off with a knife. Knock a hole in the side with a hammer.
Insert a funnel into the hole and drain coconut water into a jar.
Hit the coconut vertically with a big knife until you can pull it apart with your hands.
Scrape coconut meat with a spoon or your fingers. :)
