As far as taste, this was excellent. However, the filling turned into soup after it was baked. And yes, I followed all the tips about cooking longer, and chilled it for over 2 hours before baking. I used the 'never fail' meringue recipe from this site, and that part turned out perfect.

Pie was good, but not for a novice. I have had much better luck and better reviews with coconut cream pudding for the filling.

Excellent. Just make sure that you boil it for an extra 30 seconds, return it to the heat after putting in the coconut and butter, and allow the pie to cool fully (in the fridge) after baking.

Coconut cream pie is my husband's favorite and he always begs for me to make him one. In the past, every recipe I tried failed. This one was perfect. I do let it boil a little longer than one minute in the beginning just to make sure it's thick enough. The consistancy and taste are wonderful. This is a keeper!

very good. pretty close to the same recipe you would find in the betty crocker or better homes and gardens cookbook. try not to get impatient and turn the heat too high...it's really easy to burn especially if you don't constantly stir until thick. overall i'd make it again.

My husband said this was the best coconut pie he has ever tasted. The pie turned out so pretty- the only thing is I use the "never fail meringue" on this site (its the best). I will definately make this over and over again.

Stop right here! This is the classic pie you are looking for. Just remember to take a tablespoon of the 1 cup coconut to set aside and sprinkle on the meringue. Thanks, Jane--my family LOVED this, and it will be a regular dessert in our home.

I have several diabetics in my family, so I have made this recipie with Spenda* Sweetener. It gets rave reviews. (The last time my relatives were in, they ate the leftover pie for breakfast.) If you do this, you may want to add a tad more cornstarch, because the non-sugar changes the consistency a little. One note though: If you like a full pie, you may want to double (or 1 1/2 times) the recipie, I find that the regular recipie is a little scant.

We have been searching the country over for a good coconut pie recipe to use in our restaurant. My husband is VERY picky.... After many mishaps, we stumbled across this one. It has come out perfect every time (except when I did not let it get to a good boil as recommended). It sells out immediately each time I make some for the restaurant - our most popular pie!

This pie was awesome. For those who had trouble with it setting up, you MUST bring cream pies to a full bubbling boil. This one said for 1 minute and, after adding yolks, cook 30 seconds longer. My office loved it. My family will also love it at the next get-together!

This is with out a doubt one of my favorite pies. My grandmother actually made this for me, but since she can't see well enough to type, I'm writing the review for her. She beat her eggs in a kitchen aid and got the meringue about a mile high. It browned beautifully and tasted like heaven. Thanks for sharing this one Jane!

I really really wanted this to turn out. It's my husband's favoriate pie and I followed it to the tee and it turned out runny! I don't think it was the recipe... i'm sure it was me. He said it tasted like it was supposed to, u just had to eat it with a spoon, and the topping was horrible! I just need step by step directions with mine.
