This pie was an absolute hit at our family gathering! Super easy to make and the coconut flavor is so rich! Definitely a 5-star dish!
Coconut is life! Love this pie, making it for the 3rd time this month. Yummy!
I dunno… I’ve tried coconut pies before, and they weren’t that great. What’s so special about this one?
Coconut really does make everything better! I’m so glad you love this pie. It’s my favorite too!
I tried making this and ended up with a runny mess. I followed the recipe but it didn’t thicken. Maybe I mismeasured something?
Just okay. I’ve had better coconut pies before. Needs more coconut flavor.
I totally disagree! I thought the coconut flavor was perfect. Maybe just add more coconut next time?
Coconut cream is my favorite! I added a bit of lime zest to give it a kick and it turned out awesome! Yum!
Easy to make. My kids loved helping with the whipped cream. Will definitely try again!
I found this recipe a bit tricky. The custard didn’t thicken for me, ended up running all over the place!
This pie was a hit at our family gathering! So creamy and delicious.
That’s awesome! I love coconut cream pie! Gonna try this recipe soon!
It’s just ok. Didn’t taste like the ones from the bakery. I think it needs more sugar or something… 3/5.
