This pie is very, very tasty. It does indeed form a bottom crust "magically" as it bakes, with a lovely golden brown coconut top layer, and eggy custard in between. I wonder if perhaps the recipe was supposed to be 1/3 of a stick of butter, rather than the stated 1/3 cup. I did use the 1/3 cup as directed and found that it was excessive - and made the pie quite greasy. Next time, I would definitely cut down on the butter and for personal taste, I would also reduce the sugar as it was a little too sweet for me. But overall, a really enjoyable pie.

This is a great recipe. I do one very similar it has 4 eggs and bakes for one hour. It is a little greasy. If you don't like it to sweet don't use sweetened coconut it will still work. Its great hot or cold. I have made it with skim milk, 2% milk, whole milk,and evaporated can milk mixed half and half with water. The whole milk is the creamest but they all were very good.

What a super dessert! I am addicted to this already. The nice thing about this is it has ingredients that I usually have on hand. I followed this to a T, and put it in a 9-inch pie plate, and cooked for ten more minutes as another person mentioned. Right when it came out we had to have a peice...and it fell apart, but after another 20 minutes or so, it was pretty solid. Thanks for a great dessert!

Followed this recipe exactly and it was delicious. I gave the recipe a four for presentation though as it is not something I would serve for company due to how greasy it is. The butter was literally dripping from the sides of the pie. I think next time i will cut down on the amount of butter.

Super pie! I had an urge for custard and this was just the ticket!! This is very easy and delicious. The "crust" is tasty. I doubled the vanilla. Also, I baked it in a 9.5 inch pie pan and it took an extra 10 minutes. Great recipe thanks!!

This custard pie was so easy, and we loved the taste. I used 1/4 cup butter and mixed everything in the blender, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I didn't think it was too sweet at all. It formed a bit of a crust on the bottom, had a lovely custard center, and a crispy coconut top. What a winner!

I have made this pie three times this month. It is quick, easy, and very good. I would definitely reduce the amount of butter as it makes it very greasy and the first time I made it, butter spilled onto my oven floor; I now use 2 Tbsp. I also add 1 tsp. cornstarch to keep the custard from weeping. I've made it with the coconut and without. If you make it without, keep all the sugar in it and add 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg. Overall, this is now a family favorite. My kids even eat it for breakfast.

Wow!!! How easy is this!!! I was thrilled with the way this turned out. It looked, smelled and tasted delish!! I will say i baked it 20 mins longer then the recipe called for and believe me... you should too!!! It's a really nice coconut custard pie. I didn't think it had much of a crust but i don't really care for crust anyway.... just yummy filling suits me fine!!
