I made this. YUM!! I used coconut extract instead of coconut rum. AND we made a graham cracker crust with toasted coconut processed in. YUM. Happy Birthday, Danielle.

That extra minute or two of boiling and whisking is so crucial, I’ve found, to keep the filling nice and thick. My first few attempts at coconut cream pie always resulted in a loose filling because I took the custard off the heat too soon.

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup coconut milk(cream)

The respect for my Grandmothers, Mother and Aunts grows when I see something made from scratch. Every supper was complete with biscuits, gravy and dessert. Coconut pie was one of my favorites. Your pie is lovely.

Have made this twice. Best coconut cream pie I've ever tasted!

My first ever Coconut cream pie! Wow! Very good! I did not use the coconut rum cause some people said did not firm up and I thought that could be the reason. I also did 5 eggs. Keep stirring for 5-10minutes beyond simmer. I did a Graham cracker, almond, coconut butter crust. Really yummy! Enjoy!

I made this recipe and the results were out of this world!!! My coconut cream can only contained 13.5 oz. instead of 13.75, and it was just very creamy and solid enough to cut without trouble after 5 hrs. refrigerated. Very important to cook the filling and let it boil while whisking briskly for a couple of minutes! Can't fail:)

This is perfect my dad loves everything that has to do with coconut and is currently living in a different country and will return soon. Thank you!

[happytx]

Be still my heart. One of my favorites! I'm glad everyday food and back. Thanks

The tip to spread the pie sheet evenly is also very useful in other cookings. I'm grateful to you as usual.

It’s the pie from ICarly that everyone went crazy for

[mediasmoker]

My problem is that I'd have to make three of them... One for the family, one for left overs & one for me to eat in the closet by myself.

Coconut cream pie is my absolute favorite🍰 So good! Thanks Thomas for another great recipe.

I wanna be pals with Thomas, he's got a really lovely patience about him - I betcha he's one of those people who spend like 5 hours in a museum.

Thomas Josephs, you are evil. That coconut cream pie looks so delicious and it will certainly knock my diabetes out of whack if I even dare to make it especially since I would never be able to resist having a second or third slice right after each other. In fact, knowing myself all too well, I would simply devour the entire pie in one sitting. I just love coconut.
Why do i torture myself by watching these Well done Thomas. Keep your videos coming.

[amandac]

[jimbo]

You are Awesome! Each time I watch you I learn many amazing tricks, tips, and things. Thank you and Bravo!!

[kathleengood]

Your instructions are amazing! Thankyou!

[IsabellaGracen]

Thanks for the 1pot method! My mom used to do that for cream pies (and taught me), and everyone told me I was doing it wrong and needed to temper the eggs. I stopped making them. I feel so vindicated. 😁 Can't wait to make this!!
