This pie is So amazing! I made this for my friends 76th BD, she adored it. Not too sweet, and beautifully creamy. Watch that you don’t burn the custard, it doesn’t affect the flavour so much but changes the colour a tad when you scrape the bottom of the pot.
To continue from my last post. To make this pie even better I used a can of coconut milk to replace some of the milk and It was perfect! you wouldn’t think something so bland would make such an improvement to an already outstanding recipe.
Best coconut pie I’ve ever made. Must confess that I also added 1/2 tsp coconut extract. Would have been a 5 star pie without it !!
