This is a delicious pie. I, too, had problems with a runny filling. It bubbled and was thick - but after putting in the oven for the merengue to brown - and when it cooled in the fridge until the next day - the filling was now loose? II'n not sure if it was the merengue cooking or if it loosens after cooking. Next time I will use more cornstarch. I also used 2% milk - perhaps that was the cause? -
Fantastic pie!! I used 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup 2% milk. I also increased the coconut to 1 cup. My husband said it's the best coconut cream pie he's ever had :) -
Went by the recipe exactly. And have to do two PIES so I can have some, A perfect for this pie. Thank you, Bliss! -
Went by the recipe exactly. My pie was beautiful when it came out of the oven, but it never "set up". I refrigerated it for 3 hours before serving. It ran all over the plate. It was like coconut soup. It was very tasty, but I was really disappointed. I may try it one more time. I may not use 2 full cups of milk and I may add more coconut. -
This makes a great coconut cream pie, which is one of my husband's passions! I didn't change a thing and made as directed. I used Recipe #51537 which proved to be perfect for this pie. Thank you, Bliss!

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more.

I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps.
I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard.

This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off.

Beau works a long week. He's relaxing finally, after a beer.

I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews.
5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here.
4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests.
3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again
2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions
1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!)
