This dessert is topped with shredded coconut and then chilled. Cream cheese and butter in the crust make this dessert super creamy. When it's done, you have a creamy, fresh and delicious recipe. I now understand why this was one of my grandmother's favorite recipes, and generally it has become one of my favorites, my children and my husband too!

Advice:
Be sure to use butter, not margarine. Salted or unsalted butter is fine.
Instead of Cool Whip, you can use homemade whipped cream. It won't hold like Cool Whip does.
Enjoy !
