I have made this recipe time and time again and it always turns out delightful. My dad is diabetic so I use Splenda instead of sugar and it is one of his absolute favorites. My husband recently started watching his sugar intake so I made this to take to his family's house on Christmas. It was a hit there also, even with the Splenda. Thanks sugar pea for this great recipe!

    I didn't think I liked coconut cream pie, but I made it for a good friend who requested it for his birthday. One taste of the filling and I was hooked! It took great restraint to put the rest into the pie. I've made this several times, and every time is great. I do use real whipped cream for the topping though.

    Wow! After I finshed making this pie, my husband saw it and said, "That looks like it was professionally made!" It was a beautiful presentation, and it tasted scrumptious! I even dropped my pre-made pie crust on the counter, and it crumpled into a million pieces. I scooped it up and put the pieces back into the foil pie frame, and finished pouring the filling into it. It wasn't pretty, but the filling tasted so yummy, I just had to finish making it. It was well worth it- this recipe makes a fabulous pie, and it comes together so quickly and easily! I highly recommend it and will definitely make this again!

    Made this over the weekend for guests and it was very good, although a little sweet for my taste. I would definitely decrease the sugar amount next time. Also, recipe doesn't specify whether you should use sweetened or unsweetened coconut. I used sweetened and I suppose that could also make a difference. Topped it with whipped cream instead of the whipped topping. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Sugarpea.
