This is a great recipe. Follow the directions exactly. When preparing the filling, make sure that it comes to a boil. Not just a couple of little bubbles, a boil. Remove from heat add the coconut and extract and definitely let it set up in the refrigerator...overnight would be best. I like to use whipped cream, not cool whip. If you find a good recipe for whipped cream that will stand up overnight or longer, that would be best. I have not invested any time looking for this however it would be a good compliment to this recipe. I am not a cook, but mine came out great...many times (except for one). I did not bring the filling to a rolling boil (it will be thick). Becasue of this it was runny. If you bring it to a boil, it will be thick. I have also converted this recipe to a banana cream pie as well, it came out good, however coconut is better.
Good luck.
