The Daily Meal and Country Crock have invited

Turnips 2 Tangerines to participate in the

Country Crock's Recipe Contest~

I purchased Shedd's Spread Country Crock

My recipe is for:

The Ultimate Coconut Cream Pie~

I used Country Crock in the Coconut Cookie Crust and in the Coconut Cream Filling.

This year I was asked to bring dessert

I decided to make The Ultimate Coconut Cream Pie
