This is an amazing pie. Don't change a thing. Everyone who tries it (and loves coconut cream pie) loves it. They say it's the perfect consistency and sweetness. I used a graham cracker crust recipe from this site by Janaan Cunningham and Cool Whip for the whipped topping.

I wasn't overly impressed with this pie which was surprising given the number of excellent reviews. The only change I made was in using coconut milk as suggested by other reviewers. I think I will keep looking for a better recipe.

Put away all your other coconut cream pie recipes!!! This is the best! Only alteration - I do add 1/4 cup more sugar (family loves their sweets). This pie goes to any occassion we attend and it's the most requested pie I bake. Very easy to follow recipe as well.

Totally delish! Amazing results... The only thing I did differently was to use extra toasted coconut in the filling and real whipped cream dolloped on top & sprinkles with the extra toasted coconut. I didn't have time to read the reviews before I made it today and I'm glad I didn't. I don't think this needs all that tinkering with the coconut milk, etc. Everyone loved it... thanks for sharing this keeper.

You know I once tried to make a coconut cream pie from a cool whip and jello instant pudding recipe and it came out awful. I mean it was beyond awful. A mud pie from my backyard would have tasted better. It was watery and I will never ever attempt to do it again. NOW THIS RECIPE IS TO DIE FOR!! I followed the directions as followed and made my own whipped cream with powdered sugar and a half pint of whipping cream. My son and daughter and a few friends really enjoyed this and could not believe I actually made this. Thank you Carol an outstanding recipe, truly enjoyable. 5 stars is not enough. :)

I made this for Easter. Phenomenal! I used others suggestions and used cornstarch, half coconut milk and half 1/2 & 1/2 cream and real whipping cream flavored with coconut extract for the topping. Made the crust out of flour, chopped pecans, brown sugar & melted butter. Pressed into pie plate and pre-baked. My sister can not taste things, and is big into foods textures. She was in 7th heaven with this pie. Very impressive and delicious dessert! Will definately make again, probably for all holidays and special events! Thanks to all!

This pie was ah-mazing. I waited two days to eat it so it was a little soupy. But it was SO good.

What an amazing pie! Others recommended using 1/2 coconut milk for the filling, but my store did not have any. Instead, I used all of the half and half, but I added 1.5 tsp coconut extract to the filling and it was great. This is an awesome pie!

Very good. First time I have ever made coconut cream pie and I was not disappointed. Per other reviewers i used coconut milk and cornstarch substitutes.

Look no further for REAL coconut cream pie. I used others suggestions (half coconut milk, cornstarch instead of flour, and real whipped cream). I also added 1/2 tsp. of coconut extract because I had it on hand. It was super easy to make in the microwave and came out thick and smooth after 5 1/2 minutes. This goes in the permanent, tried and true recipe file.

Followed other reviewers suggestions. Used 1 can coconut milk (just over 2 cups) and remaining half & half. Used 2 egg yolks + 1 whole egg (xlg. size". Mixed eggs, cornstarch & 1/4 c. sugar in separate bowl. Brought milk & 1/2 c. sugar to boil, then tempered eggs w/ 1 c. hot milk and then combined all in pan and cooked, stirring constantly until mixture came to a boil. Stirred another 2 minutes and then removed from heat. Stirred in 1/4 tsp. coconut xtrct & 1/2 tsp. vanilla xtrct and 1 Tbsp. butter. Poured into a bowl that was set over a bowl of ice water and stirred until mixture cooled to room temp. Poured into pre-baked crust that I had covered w/ toasted flaked coconut. Will use remaining toasted coconut on top of whipped cream topping.

This is absolutely the best! No changes - make as is! We are making several for Easter presents. Everyone loves it. Tastes like something out of a upscale restaurant. My 12 year old son can not get enough! You will love it...

Thank you to all of you for your suggestions and "tweaks". I made this pie today using a can of coconut milk adding half and half to make the 3 cups and the cornstarch suggestion. The coconut milk just makes sense and the cornstarch is something I use to make puddings in general so another no brainer. The pie filling was very simple and came together nicely. I used a Keebler ready made shortbread crust as I was a little short on time. I had left over pudding as the crust I believe is only 8 inch. Lucky me! I will definitely make this again, but the real test will be my guests!

Positivly wonderful! I used one reviewer's suggestion of one can coconut milk, and then enough cream to make 6 cups (I was doubleing the recipe). The custard was lovely, even though I had to use some milk.It doubled very well.

I made this for my family. Everyone loved it! (It's hard to argue with sugar and cream mixed together.) I did use the suggestions: 1/3 C. corn starch in place of flour, and I didn't have half-and-half, so I used 1 1/2 C. heavy cream and 1 1/2 C. 1% milk. I also made my own whipped topping with cream, granule sugar and vanilla. Topped with toasted coconut and almonds, it was very presentable, but apparently not too pretty to eat.

this pie is amazing! i made a few changes to mine though. i didn't have any half and half so i used heavy whipping cream. and i agree with some of the other people who have reveiwed this and i added 1 can of coconut milk, it was almost 2 cups. and then i used the heavy cream. i turned out great!! it wasn't too dense or rich. i also used a graham cracker crust. and i made homemade wipped cream(1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla). i do recomend you let this chill in the fridge for a long time, or over night if you can. it really helps it to firm up real nice. a great recipe!! you should definatly try it!!
