This was terrific! My hunt is over for the perfect coconut cream pie. I have been looking for 10 years. I did substitute corn starch for the flour. Next time I might try to use half of the milk with coconut milk. When cooking the mixture on the stove it will take awhile for the mixture to thicken, be patient, it is worth it!! Delicious!!

Loved this recipe. Was easy and turned out wonderful. Only changes I made is to add regular UNtoasted cocount (1 cup) to the cream mixture, cooked on medium heat (not low) and added the toasted coconut (another 1/2 cup) directly on the top of the pie. I also used the cornstarch instead of the flour simply cause I find that easier to cook with for pies/custardy desserts (and am familiar with cornstarch's properties), and added one tablespoon butter because I like a little buttery flavor to my pies. Turned out wonderful and set up nicely. Most pies call for a meringue, which for my personal taste, I hate meringue (gag!) so I typically don't add a topping to any of my pies and I didn't on this one either. This recipe makes such a large portion of pie filling, it filled the entire pie shell and left no room for a topping - which is fine by me. :-) I simply topped the pie mixture, once poured into the shell, with the toasted coconut, chilled, and served. Other than the meringue, this was just like my Grandma made! Great recipe.

My husband thought this was great. I made the custard in the microwave as suggested. I don't ever plan on going back to the stove again!!! What a fabulous idea. Thanks!

This was my first attempt at making pie, and I'm not a very good cook. But this came out so good! Even my husband was surprised that "I" made it from scratch! I did make the suggested changes, used coconut milk, and a little coconut extract in the homemade whipping cream. So so good!

We have a great story to share about this recipe. My daughter just turned age 13 and decided to make her first pie "on her own" to surprise her dad. Everything turned out great, but at the first taste, we all realized that McKenna had used 1/4 CUP of salt rather than 1/4 teaspoon of salt! Other than that initial "bite" this recipe really tastes great - we plan to try it again!!!

This pie was pretty good but not sensational. I LOVE coconut cream pie but was a bit dissapointed in this one. I made it as written with the exception of using just a bit more coconut. It had a great flavor but just didn't WOW! me. **UPDATE** This pie was SOOO GOOD the next day?! I have NO idea why it tasted better the day after, but it was excellent. So despite my previous review, this pie is really good!

You must make this pie! This recipe is wonderful! My husband asks me to make this like every other week! I was not a fan of coconut cream pies until I, unfortunately, made this recipe! Now I'm hooked! :) So I don't feel quite as guilty about eating a little piece here & there, I use fat free half & half and fat free whipped topping! So so so delicious!

I just made this pie today and was very impressed with how good it turned out. I like my pies a bit richers, so added an extra egg, 3 tblsp. butter to the cooked custard, 2 cups coconut and a bit more sugar. This pie is to die for!

I used 1/2 half and half and 1/2 Coconut milk. I also made the topping from beating 1/2 pint of whipping cream with 2 Tbs. powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract. My husband (who loves coconut cream pie) LOVED this recipe and says it is the BEST one he ever had!! Thank you so much for this recipe! It really made me look good :)

Coconut Cream Pie is my absolute favorite dessert. This is the first pie I ever made and it was perfect. I couldn't find coconut milk like the others suggested but I didn't want all the fat from the half and half so I used fat free condensed sweet milk. I added extra coconut since I didnt have the coconut milk or any extract. Lot's of wisking but it will get there I promise! My entire family was impressed.

I followed the advice of another reviewer using cornstarch instead of flour. I followed the recipe otherwise and found this to be a very smooth,rich, creamy and delicious pie! I made my own whipped cream instead of using cool whip and it only made this pie better if thats possible. I havent had a better coconut cream pie and I will make this one again!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

My dad's favorite desert is Coconut Cream Pie so I made this for my parent's anniversary. They loved it -- it is so creamy and delicious! I'm sure my dad will be requesting this again!

This is really a great pie. These are the 'tweaks' that I did. I used 3 egg yolks (saved the whites for meringue DH does not like the whipped topping)added 2 Tbs. butter, 1/2 tsp. coconut extract. Only had half and half,couldn't find coconut milk. The rest of the ingredients were pretty much the same. The ratio that I use for cream pies, based on 3 cups of milk,etc is 1 Tbsp. flour plus 21/2 Tbsp. cornstarch. Still makes for a creamy filling. I also added toasted coconut to the bottom of my baked pie shell plus 2/3 cup of flaked coconut to the filling then with the meringue topping I put 'lots' of toasted coconut on top and then browned in oven. Guess you could call this a triple coconut pie! Delisho-O
