In reply to Barbara Schieving. I tried tagging your on Instagram, but for some reason, it's not working... my filling was similar to yours, except I don't use butter, and I used a mix of brown and white sugar to make the custard. I split the custard into two portions, and to half, I added one cup of toasted, unsweetened coconut, and to the other, I added 4 oz. or chopped dark chocolate. Then I layered them in the crust and used the leftover egg whites and a couple of tablespoons of sugar to make meringue, and then browned the meringue at 350 for about 15 minutes. It was a hit, and I think the coconut crust put it over the top! So glad I found your blog.

This crust recipe is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! I used the TJ’s coconut thins in a chocolate pudding, and I have been thinking about making an adaptation of the Hawaiian chocolate & coconut custard pie, and I wanted to use the TJ’s thins to make a cookie crust instead of a regular pie crust, but I wasn’t quite sure how
the thins would affect the proportions of my regular vanilla wafer cookie crust (and I don’t really have time for a trial run!). Thanks so much for this! I’m sure it will be divine!

In reply to Aimee. Hi Aimee! The original recipe added lime zest to the pudding before cooking it.

I feel like you should tell me how you would have incorporated lime if your husband wasn’t a scaredy cat, so I can do it. <3

leave it up to you to add that special touch to an already amazing pie! I love coconut cookies- genius to use them as the crust. Oh that I could have a slice of this!

Oh, my mouth is watering just reading this recipe. It has to be delicious. Whenever I visit my kids out of state we find a Trader Joes. I do love that store. Have you ever tried their graham crackers?? They are not just for kids.

ever since my son got hooked on “Gilligans Island” dvd’s his dad brought home, he has wanted me to make coconut cream pies, just like Mary Ann. Now I have no excuse not to. Thanks. (I think).
