And this, my friends, is a Coconut Cream Pie to beat all Coconut Cream Pies. Well, at least in my book. A perfectly flaky and delicious pie crust filled with rich, creamy coconut custard layered with mile high whipped cream and topped with toasted coconut. Now, what in the world could be wrong with that? Making this pie is really one of those times that the effort pays off ten-fold when everyone takes their first bite.

They begin with, Oh my gosh, this is the best coconut cream pie Ive tasted. And then they ask, Did you make this? Can I have your recipe? I love it when that happens.

This recipe calls for using coconut milk in the coconut custard. While that definitely gives the most flavorful result, you can substitute with whole milk or half-and-half, if needed. It also calls for my homemade pie crust. Now, that recipe is as simple as well pie to make, but if you need to use a refrigerated pie crust instead in a pinch, it works just fine. Okay, lets get down to it. Heres my Coconut Cream Pie recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Question we have come cream of coconut that we need to use. Can we substitute that for any of the ingredients? Thanks

Hi Ron, Since cream of coconut is a great deal sweeter than coconut milk, I think if you do decide to use it youll want to reduce or even omit the sugar. Ive not used cream of coconut in this recipe, so I really cant give you specific substitution information. Good luck!

Hi Robyn, We finally had a chance to make the pie over the weekend and took out the sugar based on your advice since we were using the cream of coconut and it was fantastic! After one day of being in the fridge, it was even better. I shared some with my brothers family and they loved it as well. Thanks for the recipe and this is something we will definitely make again!

I agree. Coconut Pie is probably the best thing ever and that photo of your coconut cream pie is amazing! Is it possible to actually NEED a slice of pie? Possible or not, I think I NEED this pie.

This looks absolutely amazing! Last week I made a strawberry pie using your AMAZING pie crust recipe and it turned out fabulous! Everyone loved the crust more than the filling! Now I absolutely love coconut and was wondering can I make this pie using dessicated coconut (its not sweet) because where I live, I cant find sweetened coconut. Would I need to add more sugar then? Thanks!

Hi there, I would have previously said my coconut cream was the best, then I tried your recipe this weekend. My husband loved it!!!!! I think the coconut milk adds to the depth of flavor, and this recipe is easier then mine. Thank you so much

I made this recipe yesterday, so excited to try it out on my parents since this is one of their favorite desserts! The flavor came out greatthe coconut milk really enhanced it, but I could have served this in a bowl as a parfait instead of a pie, it didnt set the way a custard pie should have and it looked like soup on a plate. I followed the recipe to the letter so I have no clue why it didnt turn out they way it should haveI even had it chilling in the fridge for 3 hrs (when the recipe only called for 30-45min). Great flavor, but disappointing in presentation

You can save them for another recipe, like meringues, divinity, egg white omelets, etc. They arent used in this recipe.
