It is very tasty and has a strong coconut flavor. I used homemade crust, three eggs, half cup of sugar and coconut and slighty less than two cups of milk - it was enough for one pie.

I was looking for an easy coconut custard pie recipe for this Thanksgiving. I don't think it can get any easier than this. It has a nice flavor and also has a nice moist texture. I've brought two "test" pies to my job and everyone enjoyed them. The only thing is there is extra filling and the cooking time for me was more like 40-45 minutes. Bottom line, this is a good pie. Enjoy!

I am a coconut custard nut and this recipe is GREAT! I added a little almond extract and some sliced almonds to it,and it was perfect! I also had some of the mixture left over. It was just enough to fill two small remkins. My husband and I had desert that night and pie for Thanks Giving. This ones a keeper

Too much coconut. Other than that, it's great. Very easy & tastes good.

This recipe was not what I was looking for. The pie was sweet, but it tasted too much like egg. I will not be making this recipe again.

This was REALLY easy. However, i thought this was a little sweet, and there was too much to fill the pie. I had to spill out some, and even then, the pie bubbled over while baking. Good taste, though.

This pie was very yummy, lots of coconut. Everyone loved it! I replaced a 1/2 cup of milk with heavy cream, used fresh ground nutmeg, a dash of cinnamon and a homemade pie crust. I also used a little less sugar because my shredded coconut was sweetened. I will definately make this again, it took very little time.

I was looking for a desert to take to my future in-laws for Thanksgiving, and I came across this recipe. It turned out great, everyone complimented on the pie.

When I gave up searching for my grandmother's special "secret recipe," I gave this a whirl. My father thought it was the best pie I have ever made. What a thrill to make a pie that contends with my grandmother's! I even liked it, and I am not a fan of coconut! Delicious! *****Update: Since my father has become a Diabetic, I have been making this pie using regular Splenda (not the baking blend kind) and have still had EXCELLENT results. I also use unsweetened coconut now.*****

This was a great pie, in which I made for Thanksgiving. The nutmeg really made the difference and it browned nicely in the oven.

My grandmother was talking about coconut pies and I didn't have a recipe and I wanted to make her one to bring for Thanksgiving....WOW, what a treat this one turned out to be, I wish I had made more than 1! I printed two recipes for this desert from this site and this one is GREAT - would make a wonderful any custard basic. Young kids may be turned off by the strings of coconut, but young kids are finicky eaters anyway. Everyone will love this great pie. Definately use deep dish crust, it makes a full pie.
