Coconut Pecan Buttermilk Pie

DSC01373

Here is an easy to throw together gluten-free pie which will remind you of the coconut-pecan frosting used on German Chocolate cakes.  If you are one of those who eats German Chocolate cake frosting by the spoonful, then you will enjoy this pie!

I wanted to use up some leftover buttermilk and happened to have the coconut flakes and pecan halves.  It’s mixed in one bowl, baked crustless in a pie dish, and keeps well for several days refrigerated.
