  • “I feel that I can’t rate this because I think I may have used the wrong coconut.I used sweetened coconut and this pie turned out so sweet it was almost inedible.I didn’t see unsweetened coconut in my store, but I’m wondering if that’s what this recipe requires.Also, even after baking for 1 hr and 20 min, the center never set.The entire pie was extremely jiggly and I kept putting it back in the oven.I ended up doing the knife test after doing some internet research on custard pies, and I finally took it out.It saidthat the knife should come out “barely clean” and to never overcook custard pie.My pie did set up after it cooled.It would also be helpful to know how much coconut to put on top, because I think I put too much on, as it didn’t stick.I would love to try this again, but with some clarification.”
