oh sweetie I was answering a request....but it is very good...G-Ma :o) hugs and HAPPY EASTER
I also answered the same request. Though I am definitely sure that your recipe is much better tasting because its yours. A truly old-fashioned coconut cream pie recipe can only be authentic when they are family recipes. Thank you for sharing your personal treasure, G-Ma!
I shall go take a look...and no one says mine is better my dear...Just one I had. Glad for your comment and Thanks...HAPPY EASTER G-Ma :o) hugs
This looks yummy. I had a very tall coconut pie last fall, I wonder if it was coconut chiffon though they called it coconot cream. Must bake. Must eat.
Must enjoy ! and I am sure you will thanks for the comment sweetie...G-Ma :O) Hugs
I had my first taste of coconut cream pie in a place called Oneonta in NYS 3 years ago. It was home made and to die for!. I think your ccp is the equivalent in America to the Pavlova or Lemon Merangue Pie in Australia. Yummmmm.
Love lemon meringue pie, my mom always made the best I ever had...but I made the best Coconut cream hee hee...Thanks for the comment my dear...G-Ma :O) Hugs
G-Ma, I want one! It's one of the few ways I actually like coconut. But I imagine yours is SO MUCH BETTER than mine!
I think my coconut trees are almost ready to harvest--maybe you can come over to my farm and make us one! :-)
Sure anytime my dear....gotta go see mom now though maybe later...Love ya babe...G-Ma :O) Hugs
Umm-mm, coconut cream is just my vice-favorite pie!. I'm wondering if a recipe would go well using canned coconut milk that I recently bought - almost afraid to try it...haven't had any for a while, and you've tempted me!
Thanks for sharing your recipe and your smiling hugs!
Diluted it may be fine?? I am not too great at substitutions...I bet it will work...Have fun and enjoy...Is too hot here to bake today...maybe tomorrow for me///Strawberry tarts topped with blueberries//// colors for the fourth I am thinking...Love ya :O) Hugs
