Definitely a keeper! For iceus2, your eggs must have been bad...

Oh, me again. I would also like to add that you should not use as much sugar. I practically made my mom's hair curl.

I do not know why but this recipe did not work for me! AT ALL!!! Everything was going fine until the meringue. It would not stiffen up! Finally I just gave up after an hour of trying to save the meringue and two phone calls to great chefs. I just poured the "meringue" on top anyway. When it came out of the oven, the dessert was smelling really strongly of SULFUR! The only person in my family who liked was my dog. He loved it.

Coconut cream pudding is excellent and one my family will make many more times. It's a keeper, for sure, and a recipe that will go in my recipe box and stay there.
