Best coconut pie ever

This was the best coconut pie I've tasted. The best part was how simple the recipe was. I will make it again, the next time I fall off my diet. But will have to remember to cover the crust edges with foil.

I made this pie for Christmas. It was super-easy and turned out beautifully. Only took about 40 min to bake though, so keep an eye on it! As noted in some of the other reviews, you should cover the crust until the end so it doesn't get too done. I would definitely serve this for company or bring as a hostess gift.
Yummmmmmm!

I have made this pie several times and I love it. I've never thought it tasted like eggs like some reviewers, but it can be a little watery. Substituting condensed milk seems to work better, along with not overcooking it. (Pie-baking 101)
Absolutely the BEST

I made this pie for Thanksgiving because my husband loves coconut and I wanted to make something new. It was fantastic. It was such a hit that I had to make another one for everyone. I did follow the advice of another person that rated this recipe and it came out perfect. 375* for 35 min and 325* for 20 min. This is a pie I will make all year and especially on the holidays. My family says it is the best coconut pie they have ever had.

I have missed having this pie since I left the east coast many years ago. It is the same coconut custard pie I grew up with. I used an 8" pie pan because it tends to be too shallow if you use a 9" deep dish, absolutely yummy. Remember to put foil on the crust if it is browning too much.

i was prompted to make this because i had about a cup of coconut milk (thai kitchen - best coco milk out there) leftover from dave lieberman's fiery shrimp (BEST EVER READ MY REVIEW FOR THAT) so i took a quick look online.. when i saw a pie made by my lovely paula i knew it was the one i was making. i didn't have a pie crust but i had some low fat grahams- threw those in the processor with shredded coconut, added butter, and voila! instant yummy crust. i followed the recipe and replaced reg milk w/ coco milk and added vanilla/almond extract. let's just say an 2 hours after i took it out the oven there was nothing left but crumbs!

Made this recipe - it was easy and tasty -not to mention pretty. I took the recipe 1 1/2 times original to accommodate a deep dish pie and it was exactly enough. I will add the almond extract or coconut extract next time - this time I only went with vanilla and it was still excellent. Had to cover with foi - next time will bake on lower temps as suggested by other views. Goes Great with Coffee....

I was really excited about making this pie, coconut is my boyfriends FAVORITE. But!! It didn't turn out so great. It's so-so. I'd actually give it a 2.5. It's very custard-like, actually pretty mushy. I baked it FOREVER too. When I saw that it was mushy I was hoping it would be like a giant macaroon, but no. My boyfriend also thought that it wasn't sweet enough. Hope this helps!!!

Served for Mother's Day, and was perfect at the end of a rich meal. Was more of a "tart" than a cream or custard pie (which I expected), but was actually better than serving a richer pie for dessert.

User: SARAH from Ft Bragg, NC User Rating:
I thought this was good, and so did all the people at the 4th of July I took them to. The only problem I had with them was that they seemed to get kinda watery which made the crust kinda soggy. It was probably because they had to sit out on a outdoor table for a couple hours before they were actually served.

Egg Custard w/ Coconut on Top!
07/06/2005 at 08:03pm
User: LINDSEY from Auburn, AL User Rating:
If you like both egg custard & coconut, you will love this recipe. If you're expecting anything in the realm of a cream pie, you might be disappointed. I think it would have been helpful for the title of the recipe to be a bit more descriptive. Anyway, I followed Paula's directions, but left out the crust (too fatty, and the custard is what I was after), just pouring the mixture into a greased 9" ceramic dish, and reducing the heat to 325 when the coconut started to brown rapidly. Without the crust to balance the sweetness, the 3/4 cup sugar is a little too much, so I'll probably cut it back next time (even less guilt!). Still, delicious results with so little effort!

This recipe should be called Coconut Egg Pie or Coconut Quiche. The pie has the taste, smell, and consistency of eggs. I hate eggs and could barely choke down a bite. My husband loves eggs and he liked the pie. But if you hate eggs like I do, this is NOT the recipe for you.

the #1 way to bake
06/27/2005 at 02:34pm
User: Catherine from Greensboro, NC User Rating:
This pie was a delicious-melt in your mouth custard type pie. The BEST way to bake this pie is to preheat your oven to 375 degrees and bake for 35 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 325 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes. Other people have mentioned that the crust burns with the way the recipe calls for the pie to be baked originally, but after baking this pie more than once, I guarentee that baking it the revised way makes the pie come out beautifully.

This pie have a great southern flava but it is to runny i guess i was so excited about eating the pie i messed up and cut it to soon. also cook the pie on 350 for 30 min and the rest of the time cook it on 300 and it will cook like a dream. word of advice dont cut your pie soon as you get it out the oven.
SO EASY AND SO GOOD!!

This pie is so easy and so delicious, especially served cold with the whipped cream. I baked mine at 375 for 35 minutes then reduced to 325 for 20 more. Thanks so much for the recipe, Paula. Love your show.

Fast and easy recipe with great results..I added a touch of almond flavoring..I add almond flavoring to everything it seems! My husband raved about it! We live in a very small town and for a special treat, we go up to the local restaurant for coconut cream pie..from now on, we will be enjoying our special coconut treat at home! We will have to find another special treat uptown. I will be making this coconut pie often! Love all your recipes, Paula..you're MY kind of cook!

I read the other reviews befor trying the pie. After reading about the crust getting too brown, I turned the oven down to 325 and cooked it a little longer. The crust was a wonderful golden brown. Everyone raved about it. This was a delicious dessert for Easter dinner.

This recipe is so easy and tastes so good that it is a keeper in my book. I covered the crust, and am glad I did as it was plenty brown even with the cover. I am going to try this in individual custard dishes. If I butter the dish, will that be adequate to prevent sticking?? Any suggestions here. I am thinking that a lower cooking temp would be better also for the crustless version. The reason I want to do it is that most friends are watching carbs, and this filling is sooo good that it would be great without a crust.
Too Sweet

First I would like to help you with the canned coconut issue. YOU CAN PURCHASE CANNED GRATED COCONUT IN A LATIN SUPERMARKET. I had a hard time finding it myself. I combined this recipe with another of Paula's (Lua). Used 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Many reviewers said it was too bland. That was not my complaint. The pie was way too sweet. Canned coconut comes in heavy syrup. I don't think that it needed and additional 3/4 cup of sugar. Plus the consistancy was too rich. Did not go over well in my family.
Quick, Easy, Scrumptious!!!!
