This was a pretty good coconut cream pie recipe. I followed the recipe as it was written with the exception of two things: putting toasted coconut on top, and adding a little bit of water to the cornstarch (then thoroughly mixing the cornstarch and water together to prevent lumps from forming). There are a few things that I would change to make this recipe a 5 star recipe:
-Use twice as much cornstarch
-Use twice as much coconut inside of the pie to give the pie a better coconut flavor.
-Cut the Vanilla down to two teaspoons. In my opinion, four teaspoons gave the pie too much vanilla flavor.
-Put between one and two cups of toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream. The toasted coconut on the top makes the pie complete.
Again, I think that this is a good pie without those changes, but it would be a spectacular pie with those changes. Thank you :)
