Coconut Key Lime Pie

1 tbsp confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp  cinnamon
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp melted butter

14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sweetened, shredded coconut
3 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir in the graham
crumbs.  Add the butter and mix well to moisten the crumb mixture.

Press the crumbs onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes until lightly browned. Cool the shell on
a rack; then refrigerate to set the crumbs before filling.

Combine the condensed milk, lime juice, and coconut in a bowl and
stir well.  Pour the custard into the baked pie shell and refrigerate
for at least 3 hours or overnight for the custard to set.  Garnish
the top with concentric circles of kiwifruit.
