This was so easy and tasty. I had to improvise with some ingredients I had on hand. I used a combination of heavy cream and coconut milk instead of half-n-half. I followed other users' suggestions and used cornstarch instead of flour. I made sure to mix the cornstarch in cold cream before adding to the heated mixture to avoid clumping. This fit perfectly in a deep dish pie crust.

My husband orders Coconut Cream every time we go to the bakery and always talked about his grandmother and how she made the best coconut cream pie. I have used several recipes that just didn't compare. Then one day I stumbled upon this one. He LOVES it!! He says it is as good as hers and I was so proud! I have made it many times since and followed the recipe with a few exceptions. I added a little coconut extract ( flavoring but not the artificial kind ) and it was extra coconutty! I also use fine and flake coconut in it for more texture and use about 3/4 cup of each ( so about 1 and a half cups rather than the 1 it calls for ) Also I used real whipped cream rather than cool whip. It is so good!! My husband prefers it with a graham crust to a pie crust as well, but it really is just super either way!!! Lovely recipe! A new family favorite!!

I did as the other reviewers recommended and used 1 can of cream of coconut (about 1 cup) and enough half and half to amount to 3 cups (about 2 cups) . Switched out the flour for cornstarch and followed the remaining directions as written. This was delicious! Picky 5 star restaurant boyfriend Loved it. Thank you.

First time coconut pie for me and it was so easy and tasted great!! I followed the pie directions but did not use a pastry crust. I used graham cracker crumbs, some butter, 2 tbls. sugar, and about 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Pressed it all together in my pie plate and it was great!!!

This was a great recipe !!!! This was the very first time I ever made a coconut creme pie. Guess what, first time I ever ate some too.... YUMMMM!!!! I followed advice of others and made some substitutions. Still giving 5 stars though .I skipped half and half and used cocunut milk 1/2 cup and coconut water 1/2 cup. I also used more coconut (1-1/2 cups). I also used cornstarch. It doesn't get lumpy with this. I used 2 whole eggs plus 1 yolk. I also used 2 teaspoons of vanilla. I tried the recipe cooking on top of the stove and no matter how much I strred it still stuck to the pan and I was afraid the taste would go through the pie (it was still good) I SERIUSLY recommend using the microwave skip stove completely. I put all ingredients in the bowl and mic'd for 2 minutes a pop then stirred after ever 2 minutes. Because I was paranoid I cooked for 10 minutes. 8 is probably fine just keep strring. When done go right to the pie shells because if you cooked it right it will begin to set in the bowl and you don't want that. Iwill definitely make again. I had a bake sale at church and after one sample they wanted a whole pie ! AWESOME !!! One sure thing to do is make your own whipped cream. It Is The Best!!! I am so impressed.

So far so good. I tried this once before, but it never set and came out soupy. 2nd time was the charm. i switched out the flour for corn starch but only a 1/3 c. I cooked it on the stove stirring until it started to get thick like pudding. I didn't cook it that long before. Seemed to do the trick. I haven't tried it just yet though, it looks wonderful and it set.

The taste was delicious I just don't know what I did wrong, I wish someone could give me some feedback. I put in 2 cups of half & half and 1 cup of evaporated milk and I put in 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour & 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, the rest was done as per the recipe. But for some reason the pie never set. I ate it soupy just like melted ice cream with some shortbread cookies! idk but good!
