Reviews
The recipe was great but I added an extra egg, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and I used coconut milk. It was delicious my family loved it
Very easy as well as nice looking follow the recipe to the letter
Really glad I found this recipe. I will definitely make again and again. I read others’ reviews and used a few of their pointers. I used 3 eggs instead of 2. I only used 1 cup of sugar (we like desserts that are a little less sweet AND my husband is borderline diabetic. I used coconut milk instead of whole milk – but when I make it again, I probably will use half and half. I also used unsweetened coconut in the filling but sweetened on the top (probably more like 1/4 Cup.
Mine turned out great. Yummy
Recipe was quick and easy. I followed the modified recipe with the reduced sugarand used evaporated milk and 1 extea egg. It was so easy and delicious, I made 3. It’s my new dessert. I gave it a 4 because of the modifications.
I made as others recommended. Less sugar, 3/4 cups and used half and half instead of milk. Added a dash of nutmeg at the end. Best Coconut custard pie ever!!
My wife never wanted to try this, now it’s one of her favorite deserts! Like others I cut the sugar to 1 cup, and it’s still plenty sweet. I also substitute half and half for the milk, and use 3 TBS of flour. Simple to make and delicious.
My husband loved the pie, the recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of sugar I only used 3/4 cup of sugar came out delicious
I followed Foodnut’s rendition…… Looks great, I added the foil rim at around 30 minutes,
Followed recipe to the T and was disappointed with the consistency and texture. Too greasy and soggy. ☹️
I cut the sugar a bit, based on other comments. Before baking it looked lumpy, like sour milk. My milk was fresh, whole milk. Maybe I did something wrong. It’s baking…
Fabulous tasting! Nothing extra needed.
I followed the recipe step by step. It was darker than I expected, way too sweet and never set. I took it out of the oven after 45-50 mins, saw that it was wobbly. Let it cool, then set it in the fridge. After work took it out, still liquid. Set it back in the oven for another 10 mins. Still not much difference. I won’t be outdone! Will adjust with less butter, less milk, less sugar, a little more flour & unsweetened coconut. For now we’ll add ice cream to what we have but won’t throw it away!
This was the best pie we ever made the grand- kids keep asking me to mke more
Way too sweet I would just use a cup of sugar or 2/3 don’t make it per this recipe otherwise you’ll be eating nothing but sugar
this is the best pie I have made in along time no changes made my own crust the butter one this is GREAT husband loved will make again GOOD!!!! Patsy Stack Edgefield SC
Easy to make with ingredients you usually have on hand. Delicious
Perfect
Easy to follow.
I only used 3/4 cup of sugar. I also used 1/2 cup of whipping cream and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. I added a tsp of nutmeg. I also creamed the butter with the sugar first and separately whipped the cream till it was half way to whip cream and then added the coconut milk. Combined the creamed butted and milk along with the other ingredients.
Great recipe , the only adjustments I made is I cut the sugar back to 1 cup and used coconut milk and coconut extract instead of regular milk and vanilla extract.
