This was my Great-Grandma Fry's (Daddy's side) recipe. She made it every year for the Presbyterian church in Lake Village, Indiana to auction off:) She also baked it for Christmas presents. People would often ask her for the recipe but she'd never give it away:) One of her secrets was that she used fresh coconut milk.
