OH MY GOD. This pie was amazing. I did what other reviewers suggested and did 1.5 c of coconut milk and 1.5 c of half & half cream. Kept everything else the same. I agree with making your own whipped cream if you are going to make this pie; if you're going to do something homemade like this, you gotta go all the way and make your own whipped cream. Made it for my dad's birthday, and he said that I have a job now every year until he dies - cooking these pies for his birthday! LOL Seriously, it was absolutely RIDICULOUS how good it was. It made too much filling, so I had a nice little cup of filling and whipped cream for desert an hour or so after I made the pie. Yum yum! :D Thanks for this sweet recipe!

As written I gave it a 4. My modifications made it a 5 for me. 3 egg yolks, I also used 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk in place of 1 1/2 cups of the 1/2 and 1/2. (please note you still use 1 1/2 cups of half and half). I used flour unlike most reviewers here. Cornstarch will give it a funky look that is not typical of a coconut cream pie (this has been my experience from other cream pies). But I am sure that is just my southern bias.

I used this recipe( somewhat) to make my first coconut cream pie ever! It was fantastic! My Mom has been the acclaimed coconut cream pie maker in our family and she thought this was the best she had ever eaten. everyone loved it. I did, however, use the modifications suggested by Emily in her review.I used a whole can of coconut milk and made up the rest with the half and half and I too used the cornstarch instead of the flour. I did not toast the coconut flakes inside the pie but I did for the top. Also, I think next time I will not use the coconut flakes. All in all, the best coconut pie i have ever tasted! Thanks!

I did substitute the flour for 1/3 cup of cornstarch and 2 cups of coconut milk plus 1 cup of 10% cream, also just realized I omitted the vanilla and didn't even notice. YUMMY! Will definitely make again and again!

I made two of these last week and they disappeared fast! Everyone loved it. I used half coconut milk and half heavy cream. I glazed a good quality frozen store bought pie crust with egg wash and sugar before baking it. It made the crust look great and it kept it's texture without getting soggy. I made sure I had enough heavy cream to make homemade sweetened whipped cream for the topping. I also toasted some coconut for garnish.

First time making this coconut pie, and it turned out smoothy-licious. It will turn coconut haters into lovers. Took it to a church function and it was gone.

Well...in my attempt at making this pie I tried the recipe alterations suggested by others and my filling ended up being like a very thick custard...not quite what I had in mind for my friends birthday pie. So here's my alterations: 1 1/2c. coconut milk, 1 1/2c. half-n-half, 3 eggs instead of 2, 1/2c. cornstarch instead of flour. I started out cooking it in the microwave but it was globby and made me nervous so I finished cooking on the stove. It took FOREVER and a day for it to boil and by then it was WAAAAY thick which probably was utimately the problem. So, I will try this again but not really sure what to do different. Follow the recipe perhaps? What a novel concept!!!

I love this pie!!!! It was light, not too sweet and perfect! It was my first time ever making a pie, and i shall be making this one pretty often. I did use a grahm cracker crust and tried 1 cup of coconut milk with 2 cups half and half. I may do more coconut milk next time, but it was really good! my husband loved it!

Was ok. Could only find coconut chunks that were unsweetened and though they were too big and chuncky. Will try the recipe again using smaller coconut. Overall it was good but not the best.
