What a nice coconut custard pie! I have been looking for a good coconut custard pie recipe that did not involve scalding the milk. This came out terrific. The only thing I did differently was add 1/3 cup of sugar and added the toasted coconut before baking. I plan on making this one for Christmas as well seeing it is my wife grandfathers favorite. I'm sure he will approve! Thanks for posting!

I followed the recipe to the T. I was dissapointing. We found it bland and it was not sweet enought. I love Coconut pies and when I make this again I will add more sugar and coconut. I may add a 1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract.

The recipe was very easy. This was my first attempt at this kind of pie and for me it didn't have enough coconut flavor. I'm not sure if why but I tasted the egg more than the coconut. My grandparents like the pie, so this one got mixed reviews. I followed the recipe as is, and it was very simple and very pretty.

Good, easy, basic and inexpensive pie to make with things most people would have at home.
