There seemed to be a lot of potential with this recipe however it just didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. The flavor was good but the addition of the egg whites to the mix made it taste eggy and have a texture like a quiche not custard. I should have gone with my gut and only put in the yolks. The coconut on top would also imprive the texture. I will try again with this change and see how it goes.

I am currently eating this heavenly dessert and had to rate it immediately. There are so many things I love about this custard 1. it's easy - just mix and bake. 2. it seems to be forgiving - I didn't have half and half so I used heavy cream and skim milk 3. it doesn't require a water bath. 4. it's delicious. Only one thing I would do differently next time - instead of putting coconut in it, just put the coconut on top to brown and get crunchy - I guess I prefer my coconut this way instead of soggy in the custard. Even so, I'm thoroughly enjoying this and my husband is too.

I loved the addition of the bananas! What a great dessert and one that I enjoyed all by myself with a generous scoop of Cool Whip on top. Yummie! Thanks!

This is a wonderful custard! I made exactly as directed, adding a touch of coconut to the final minutes of cooking, to brown on top. This custard would be beautifully served with fresh fruit, a little slice of pound cake or a fruit sauce. Thanks so much, KelBel!

Kelbel this is great. I made the custard early in the morning and chilled it all day. I took it out 30 minutes before serving to allow it to come to room temperature. It was amazing. So creamy, light & fluffy, very flavourful. I made my own coconut milk, and added a few sliced strawberries to the mix. I also used Bev's Strawberry syrup to drizzle over top. I'll be making this wonderful treat over and over again. Thanks for sharing.
