  1. 100 *'s for you! I made this for Sunday meal that we shared with friends. It was quickly devoured and inhaled, not a crumb left! hehehe-Thanks for making me look like a STAR! PS. Wish my meringue would look as gorgeous as this picture my fault NOT the recipe! I am just meringue challenged! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!
     
  2. I couldn't tell you the last time I made a Coconut Cream Pie. Made this as per the recipe except added about 1 1/2 cups coconut. I used Flaky Pie Crust recipe #20984 for the crust and my Mile High Meringue Recipe #159987 instead of the whipped cream. Adding the meringue is a hold over from childhood. This was definately a hit with my family.
     
  3. A wonderful pie with a very creamy texture. We enjoyed this very much at Thanksgiving. I added an extra 1/4 cup of coconut to use up what I had on hand. The toasted coconut added a nice touch of color to the pie. Thanks for a great recipe.
