I love these. In Hawaii you can find these and apple turnovers anywhere that sells donuts. I sometimes cheat and use store bought pie crust or puff pastry for the shell. The recipe calls for fresh coconut but since I moved to WA and don’t have coconuts on my doorstep any more I use the packaged stuff and it's delicious.
