This pie was an absolute hit at our family gathering! Super easy to make and the coconut flavor is so rich! Definitely a 5-star dish!
I tried making this and ended up with a runny mess. I followed the recipe but it didn’t thicken. Maybe I mismeasured something?
Coconut cream is my favorite! I added a bit of lime zest to give it a kick and it turned out awesome! Yum!
It’s just ok. Didn’t taste like the ones from the bakery. I think it needs more sugar or something… 3/5.
