    This was amazing. Fairly easy to make and the taste was wonderful. I would, in the future, decrease the vanilla extract a little. It seemed to be a little overpowering...would make again.

    Awesome! We loved it! It was the favorite dessert at Thanksgiving! I made a mistake and added the egg whites first with the milk, sugar, starch, etc... I finished the filling and pourd it into my pie before realizing I was suppose to use the yolks first, not the whites. (It still tasted great! So I carefully scraped the filling back into a bowl and added the yolks (i.e. I added whole eggs to the filling It was still delicious! After it was chilled, instead of the merange, I used real whipped cream (sweetened with a tad of sugar and dash of vanilla and toasted coconut. .. it was fantastic! I'll definitely make this again and again! (good tip to bake the pie crust fist so it's not soggy-- I used a frozen pie shell, and baked it with weights, and it was perfect!

    This is an awesome recipe. I always used my mother's but it was lost in a move along with many other treasured recipes. This is as close to her recipe as it can come. It has a wonderful texture and the flavor is perfect. It fits exactly into a 9 inch crust. My husband agrees that this is a keeper!!

    I made this coconut cream pie for my dad's birthday. I was really worth the effort and it was absolutely delicious. I made a coconut whipped cream instead of the meringue, and it was even better. If you need a great coconut cream pie recipe, use this one. Definitely a keeper in my book!

    I've never made this type of pie before but it turned out amazing from the crust all the way to the topping. Some modifications I made that I will continue to use in the future: substitute a can of unsweetened coconut milk for as much of the milk as it will cover (1-1/2 c I think it was. Also, I don't have pie weights or beans so I just poked a lot of holes in the crust with a fork and baked it for the same amount of time and it turned out fine (could've used a little less salt but that's getting picky. I went with whipped cream and it was all very divine - set up perfectly.

    I lost a family recipe 20 years ago, so i stopped making this particular pie. I saw this recipe tried it and loved it. My family can't stop complimenting me. I will bake this pie forever!

    I picked this recipe for Thanksgiving because it sounded simple and the reviews made it sound great. I followed the instructions (except for using a frozen pie crust which I baked first. But when I took the pie out of the oven, it was runny and liquidy, cooling helped a little bit but it still didn't firm up.
    Flavor was okay, should have substituted in some coconut milk or added coconut extract that a few of the reviews had suggested.

    I found this a little bland, not as coconutty as I like, maybe next add a little extract. But very easy and the crust was pretty tasty.
