Coconut-Buttermilk Pie

I made this pie for my mother's birthday. It was horrible - it was so runny and it overflowed in the 9" pie crust. It was also so sweet we had to throw it away. Not sure what happened.

This recipe is very close to an old family recipe I have for Buttermilk Pie that I have always thrown a handful of coconut and choc chips into. It must be baked long enough or it will be runny. The recipe does make more than needed for a 9". Best if you fill to the bottom of the scaloped part of the crust. The top should be browned nicely and only the center should have a slight jiggle. It is a sweet pie, but our family loves it. Best served cold.. Add a spoonful of homemade whipped cream and drizzle with a nice chocolate sauce. Awesome!
