Excellent! I used real butter and added vanilla extract and it was outstanding. It's so easy to prepare, too, so I'll be making it again and again. Even the kids, who frown at coconut, loved it. Thanks for posting this recipe, Bliss! Update: I tried the recipe again with your addition of coconut extract and did not care for it - I thought it was too "coconuty." I think I'll stick with just the vanilla extract. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe! -
Loved it- I was looking for a non custardy type of coconut pie and this is it. I have made it twice, once as written, and once with the addition of chopped pecans and bourbon. Both versions were meltingly delicious. -
This was one of the most excellent pies I have ever tasted... or made. The filling was amazing. It's like a pecan pie, dense and buttery sweet but with loads of coconut. The top gets a deep brown and it never really set for me when I moved it. So I took it out at 40 minutes and cooled it. It did set then. I topped it with whipped cream. Wonderful and going in my main recipes permanently.

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!!)
