Kittencal's Bakery Coconut Cream Pie

Kittencal has NEVER let me down, and this is no exception. My hunny mentioned while eating at Baker's Square that coconut cream was his fave, but he was a tough critic and his slice was under par. Valentines day comes along, and I try Kitten's recipe of course. Let me tell you, he was floored, raving with praise for this pie. It was the best of the best, ever. Need I say more? Oh, I followed the recipe to a T. Right down to the coconut extract.

A friend of mine bought a coconut on a random whim from an exotic food store and after finally peeling away the husk and cracking it open, we drained the milk and started thinking up what we should make with it. We came across this pie recipe and decided it was a fantastic idea. We forgot to buy coconut extract and when we got home we realized there was very little vanilla extract in the bottle, only a couple of drops. We substituted with a maple extract that we found in the back of the cabinet and added a couple dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg as well as the coconut meat we peeled ourselves and some sweetened coconut shreds mixed with it. The pie came out interesting but absolutely delicious! My friend's mom was so tempted to eat the pie mix when we let her taste it before it even made it into the pie crust!

Loved it and so did my guests. People were fighting over this pie. I followed the recipe except I whipped up 2 cups of cream instead of 1 and put half a cup of cream in the pie and piled the rest of the cream on top. I used stablizer so the cream stayed intact. Bakery quality? I would say better don't sell yourself short Kittencal.

I can't really rate it on taste because I didn't eat any of it. But, I found it simple to make and it looked really good when it was completed. My husband loved it though. His words were "it's awesome"

I'm never going to buy a coconut cream pie from the bakery again! This is so delicious, I couldn't believe that I made it! I used So Delicious Coconut Milk for the coconut milk, and half-and-half for the table cream. I accidentally goofed on the whipped cream and added 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 1/4 cup of sugar, but it still turned out great! Kittencal delivers AGAIN!!! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!

This pie was the absolute BOMB! I'm not really a pie person, but I made the pina colada version for my family the other night, and it was the best pie I've ever had. Even my Dad, who's a pie guy, said it was the best he ever had. KittenCal always has the best recipes! Thank you so much!

Another wonderful recipe from a fabulous cook! I have made this several times in the last year I just keep forgetting to go back and review it. I followed the recipe for the coconut cream exactly (including the coconut extract) and have had great results. I served mine in parfait glasses with toasted coconut, however it has always been firm enough to make a pie that would hold its shape after cutting.

This was great! The coconut filling was the best I have had....ever. I used the coconut milk, the coconut extract and I folded in the coconut. The one thing I found was that using 1 cup of cream was not enough to fold in the filling and also have enough to top the pie with. I used 2 cups unwhipped cream. Once it was whippes, I folded half in to the filling and used the other half as the topping. That was the perfect amount. I made it the day before and let it set up in the fridge overnight....perfection!

Made this for my daughter's graduation party and it was a big hit! I probably added more of the whipped cream to the filling because I read in the reviews that you should make more than the recipe called for. I used an extra half cup of creme and there was plenty!

This pie was phenomenal and a huge hit at the office. Not only did I have people asking for the recipe; but someone asked if I would make it for them if they paid me! I have a 12 inch pie pan and adjusted the ingredients to 1 1/2 times the amount without any problems. I also added extra vanilla and coconut extract because I'm a huge fan of both. Thank you so much for posting!

This coconut pie is very good! I made a shortbread cookie pie crust, doubled the coconut extract and threw the shredded coconut in the food processor to chop it up a little. The coconut flavor was very good.

When looking for a coconut cream pie recipe, I knew Kittencal wouldn't let me down. Her recipes always deliver. I made this for a pie sharing event at work. It was the talk of the office. I went the coconut milk and half-and-half route without coconut in the filling, but extra on top. Next time I will probably bump up the coconut extract since I prefer the texture without the flakes inside. Otherwise the flavor was pleasantly subtle.

The longer it sits to let the flavors meld together, the better it gets. Smitten over it on the first day and gaga over it the second. Thanks for posting this!

Excellent. One guest told me they like it better than the pie at Smokey Valley Truck Stop in Olive Hill, KY. That is quite a compliment. I did not use the coconut flavoring and I let it set for several hours before serving to make sure all flavors were blended well. This will be a standard in my personal recipe collection.

This is a fantastic pie recipe. Because of a dairy intolerance, we replaced the table cream with MimicCreme (a cream substitute made with almonds and cashews) and the whipping cream with Cool Whip. Otherwise, we followed the recipe very closely, including using the optional coconut extract. It was an absolutely wonderful pie, and I know we'll make it again.
