It's a great recipe, but please cook it longer than instructed. I have a digital timer I use and one minute is too short to cook it after it's boiling. Do 2-3 min and 1-2 min after having the egg yolks. Also, I cooled the base overnight(or min 2hrs) before doing my egg topping. I covered the egg whites and whipped them the next day. Additionally, please use an electric mixer on high to make the egg topping. It will take at least 8-10 min of beating. My client was thoroughly pleased. His pie was my second run-through.

I feel like Randy Jackson, but it was 'just ok' for me. I don't know what it was about it though. It was a little too sweet for me, which is strange because I really like sweet! I guess the problem was that I had something in mind that I wanted and sadly this wasn't it. I don't think I'll make it again.

This recipe is a KEEPER!!! very easy to make..turned out perfect..even cut nicely, which doesnt happen with all cream pies!!! Great flavor, but will use less sugar next time. I love to cook, and am always on here looking for new recipes. Great place to get them.

I have cooked for over 40 years. I never had the nerve to try a coconut cream pie from scratch. I tried this and it was so easy, I couldn't believe it. My family was crazy about it and the pie was gone in one day. No more pudding mix pie for me. This will be my coconut cream pie recipe from now on. Thank you for this website. I have passed this along, with the recipe, to my daughters.

I followed directions and it turned out perfect. I don't use meringue for the top, I always use unsweetened heavy whipping cream.

My husband LOVED this pie. I found it really simple(as I am NOT a cook by any reach of the imagination). It was a little on the really sweet side but great just the same! Thanks for a great recipe!

I followed the directions to a "t" on this recipe and the amount of filling this recipe makes is much more than for one pie crust. The filling never did set up for me and the meringue was a flop! Not a good recipe for coconut cream pie!!!

It was delicious, but a little runny, but that's probably because I didn't refrigerate it long enough. It was very sweet and sugary, I think next time I will substitute splenda so it's not as sweet, I'm not too big on sugary sweet tastes.

I made this pie for my Dad's birthday, he LOVES coconut cream Pie. I don't think of myself as a great pie baker because my Mom makes GREAT pies. After my Dad tried the pie I made he gave me one of the biggest complements ever - He said that my mom needed to get my recipe. I had no proplems with this recipe although I did use the Never-Ever-Fail Meringue recipe with it.

This was runny even when I cooked it for 5 minutes longer and added an extra tbsp of cornstarch. i did NOT like this pie. it was way WAY too sweet. However, my family does not like meringue so i topped it with whipped topping instead. That may have been the problem. Do not make this pie with whipped topping.

This pie did not set at all!!! I followed the directions exactly and even followed other reviewers advice to cook a bit longer so it would set. It didn't work. It has great flavor and would have been a very good pie had it set and stayed firm. I was surprised conidering the cornstartch to milk ratio. Maybe reduce the sugar a bit and increase the cornstartch????

I must have done something wrong with this because when we cut into it, it went everywhere. I am figuring it was something I did - not the recipe. But the pie still tasted fantastic. I used the never fail meringue from this site which was amazing. I want to try this recipe again to see if I can fix what I did wrong last time!

I followed the advice of the reviewers and increased the boil time, but it was still a little runny. Still, my boyfriend said it was one of the best pies he's had & he's a coconut cream fanatic!

Since my grandma isn't nearby to make this on Thanksgiving, I've resorted to making it myself. This is the best recipe I could find. Tastes just like grandma's!

I Have never made or tasted a cocoanut pie, I made it for husband’s birthday, he LOVED it, the filling set up well, for those who had a problem with the filling, just cook it longer until it thickens, you can’t go wrong with ¼ cup of corn starch and 2 cups milk ratio. If I had to change something next time, that I would increase the amount of meringue.

It's very sweet ,I guess I like a more subtle sweetness.I made this 3 times;The first time I cooked it a bit longer because I read the reveiws ,in which some reveiwers complained that 1 minute wasn't long enough ...that adjustment and this recipe turned out great;The Second was great.;The third I thought I would follow the recipe exactly, but in the end it seemed more dense.It did not have the smooth and creamy ,yet firm enough to stand texture that I like .

This is THE most fabulous old-fashioned coconut cream meringue pie! This is my husband's favorite pie and I make it for special occasions. It's not easy, but well worth the effort. I agree with the other raters who say to be patient and cook slowly. ENJOY!
