COCONUT CHEESE PIE 
1 1/2 tbsp. butter, softened
2 2/3 c. Baker's angel flake coconut
4 eggs
2/3 c. sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
3 tbsp. lemon juice

Spread butter evenly over bottom and sides of 9 inch pie pan. Press 1 1/3 cups of the coconut into butter, forming a shell. Place 1 cup of the coconut, the eggs, sugar, cheese, and lemon juice in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour into coconut shell. Sprinkle remaining coconut in a ring around top and in center. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. (If coconut on top browns quickly, cover with a circle of aluminum foil.) Serve warm or cool; refrigerate any leftover pie.
