Mom whipped up this wonderful pie on impulse, using an ancient whisk and an old skillet. I am still amazed that it turned out perfect every time. —Ginny Werkmeister, Tilden, Nebraska

I have tried many times to make this type of cream pie, and always it was runny. Not this time. The pie turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

Really good coconut pie with less sugar than most. However, I added more coconut to the filling.

I don't like it too sweet so I used Splenda for Baking and whipped cream instead of the meringue. Best coconut pie i ever ate.

This recipe is like one my family has used for over 40 years. The only difference is the amount of sugar used. The filling is also great for banana cream pie, just omit the coconut and coconut flavoring.

This is delicious and no where in the recipe did it say to boil the meringue. Meringue is always whipped in a mixer. Read the recipe through again and again and be sure you understand it before starting to make it. I think that is the trouble a lot of cooks and bakers do. I have been baking for over 50 years. I love love love to bake. This recipe is so yummy.

This is my husband's favorite pie so I decided to try this recipe for Father's Day. It is so good and very attractive. Next time when I make this pie I will not add the coconut on top until it has baked for about 10 - 15 minutes. The coconut turned dark brown in my oven when put on top at the beginning of the baking time. I too added extra coconut, coconut extract with the vanilla extract. Will definitely make again and again.

The recipe said nothing about "boiling" the meringue - don't know where that idea came from. It was delicious and I will be using this recipe often. We love coconut!!

Pie was delicious, however, I would make a different merringue as this one was tasteless. I had never made a merringue by boiling it before and prefer the "traditional" one.

Very good and easy to make. I did make a slight change. Instead of using 1.5 tsp of vanilla extract in the filling I used .75 tsp of vanilla extract and .75 tsp of coconut extract. I will definitely make this again.

Excellent pie recipe.....to olddutch what you are talking about has nothing to do with making the pie. The person who submitted the recipe said that was what her mom used years ago to make this pie.

My family loved this pie. I added some coconut extract to the custard and used a no-roll pie crust recipe (you mix and press into pie pan). From top to bottom is was delicious!

This is a very good recipe. I will definitely be making it again. I don't know what recipe olddutch was reading but there is nothing in here about a skillet. And if you cut the pieces bigger than you will get less than 8 servings. That is not hard to figure out.The only thing I would do is add a little more coconut.
