At the request of a friend who wanted coconut cream pie with a chocolate crust, I made that recipe listed here. It was good but the coconut custard just wasn’t exactly what I wanted. She again requested the pie, so I decided to try this custard instead and still go with the chocolate crust. Unfortunately the custard didn’t set this time. I didn’t know what the problem was, I followed the recipe to a T. I went with another recipe to finish the pie (I hadn’t poured the custard in the pie) instead. While making that one, I realized making that where I probably went wrong. This recipe says to “add the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly”. I checked the original recipe I used from this site and it says “return all of the mixture to saucepan. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes”. I did not bring this recipe to a boil after and only heated it for the 3 minutes as stated. Disappointed.

I totally forgot about national pie day! Couldn’t they move it to november so it’s easier to remember?
