    Turned out great - delicious and fairly easy. I was worried it would be runny but it was firm when I cut it. I would put 1/4 tsp of salt next time like one of the other reviewers mentioned. Also I always put cream of tarter in my meringue. I wanted a recipe that had ingredients that I already had at home so this was perfect.

    I thought the pie turned out perfect, but after cutting the first piece, I noticed that there was some liquid that ended up in the bottom of the pie dish. I think it ran from the meringue, but not quite sure. The filling was easy to do and turned out perfect, although, the next time I might add something to give the filling more coconut taste, like coconut flavoring or coconut milk. I will definitely use this as a basis for my pie, but use a different meringue recipe.

    This pie tasted awesome! It was a little complex, but I managed it. I followed it perfectly, but when I cut it the crust wasn't completely done, a little soggy. When I cut into it, there was a little excess liquid (Not quite sure what it was..., but not a big deal. I am 13 and I accomplished it pretty well. I am trying to get as much experience as possible to get scholarship money to attend The Culinary Institute of America.

    Excellent! The sweetness is just perfect. I made two of these but forgot to prebake the pie shell on the first one. No problem, just took out all the coconut creme and baked it and then filled it again to bake the pie with the meringue. Really enjoyed it. Tonight I'm going to try and put chocolate in it and turn it into a chocolate coconut cream pie.

    I used this recipe tonight to make a wonderful pie! I am living temporarily in Riga, Latvia in the Baltics. I did not bring my favorite recipes so rely quite a bit on the internet to help me out. Tonight I was not disappointed! I did make my own crust to make it even better but the filling was almost perfect. I sprinkled coconut on top of the meringue and wish I had taken a picture it was so pretty! The filling wasn't too sweet in my opinion. And I had to substitue flour for the cornstarch but no trouble with it thickening and it did not have lumps. I am "pinning" this one!!

    First time making this pie was easy - although I had to look up a couple of baking terms ("temper" and "blind-bake". Easy enough. I followed other reviewers and topped the pie with whipped cream rather than meringue with good results. Next time, I'd probably add a teaspoon of salt to the custard just to bring out the flavors a little bit, and maybe even 1/4 cup of rum.

    This was a hit yesterday, Christmas! I followed it exactly. I did the micro method of toasting the coconut. Worked out great. I never got a piece, just got to lick the pan. I used a friends recipe for the meringue. 3 egg whites- 3 Tablespoon warm water, beat on low speed until frothy, Add 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, Beat on high adding 6 Tablespoons sugar, while beating. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat on high till spatula makes cut thru. Pile high bake 300 degrees till desired color.Does not weep! Try it you will be surprised.

    I made this last night and it was a huge hit! It is my mother's favorite pie and she said it is the best she has ever had! I did take the suggestion of adding another egg white and a shot of coconut rum to the meringue. I will definitely be making this again!
