34 Reviews of Amazing Coconut Pie

this recipe is simple, but to me there's a small issue with the directions. step 1 says to combine all of the ingredients, which i did. then step 4 says to sprinkle on the coconut, which i couldn't do because i'd already done that in step 1. this was a little frustrating for me, but it's still a good recipe.

    Delicious! I thought the flavor was great. I agree that the instructions ought to be edited; unless you read all of them before beginning (probably a good habit to get into, but not one we all follow), one would probably assume that the coconut should be blended in with the rest of the ingredients. I actually did that, and then added MORE coconut for the topping! This is delicious with whipped topping. Thanks!

    Do not overbake; it took exactly 45 minutes in my oven and still had a little wiggle in the middle that firmed up as it cooled. I substituted 1 tsp of almond for the 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, adding 1/2 tsp vanilla also. The almond tasted wonderful. I also heavily greased with crisco and butter the glass deep dish pie pan I used.You will be rewarded with mouthfuls of creamy almond flavored custard and crispy tender coconut. It took about 7 minutes to get it into the oven. This is a perfect pastry!

    I have been making this pie for years and every time I serve it, I get raves about it. Like some of the other reviewers, I have prepared it with coconut sprinkled on top and with coconut blended with other ingredients. It is great either way. Last week I made a double recipe of and baked it in a 13 x 9 dish, cut the pie into sqaures for serving at a church dinner. Great!!

    AMAZING! I added about 1/4 t. salt, used a glass pie pan, and unsweetened grated coconut. My coconut stayed near the top, was browned and crispy and gooey. The custard bottom is perfect, not too sweet and a little eggy. My fav. coconut pie--tastes like coconut, not coconut extract like most pies.

    This was a very easy pie to make and it looked beautiful. My mother-in-law told me not to lose this recipe, she loved it.

    I made this pie last night and it was so delicious. My husband didn't believe me when I said I just put all the ingredients in a blender and then poured them in the pie pan. What a great recipe. Yumm. Thanks!

    I was actually pretty disappointed with this. For starters, after 40 minutes at 350 it was still wobbling away like it was more liquid than solid, and it took me over 50 to get it done. Even then it tasted too eggy for my liking, and was just a bit bland. I gave this 4 stars as I think some of my disappointment is likely to be down to this just not being the right pudding for me rather than it being a poor recipe.
