I hope you're still putting out videos. I love the way this coconut pie looks. But, don't ever be ashamed of showing your cookbook. I think like you do about them - the messier they are, the better the recipes in them must be. I know how a few cookbooks I have, have a few smudges here and there. 😻 TYSM for sharing this video with us. I'm probably gonna make this pie tomorrow morning or afternoon cause it looks so yummy - good. 😋

Nana...2 hours ago I made a coconut custard pie USING YOUR FLAKY CRUST RECIPE....and it is SOOOOOOOO good. Thank u so much for sharing your cooking wisdom with the world. U are DEFINITELY a star.

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Zachariah Thanks for your comment on your success. I'm not a star but the pie crust sure is. I'm amazed when people say it couldn't possibly be good and they won't even try it!

[@joannlee7239]

I have used this recipe twice now. Both times the pie was fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@mymobilebuddy4392]

You have a very pleasant personality. I like your teaching about baking and cooking. I subscribed.

[@magnificent6668]

The theory behind scalding the milk is that it improves the texture of the custard...i find that just bringing it to room temperature is good enough.

[@jamesd.swanson2935]

Nice Instructions well Done Mom we added a tad of nutmeg it's a Swedish thing :) Tastes great Easy recipe ever ! Blessings from Arizona / Oh yes used granmas & mothers crust 1/2 Lard/12 BUTTEr :) yummy prepared with ice cold water in food processor 2 min done :)

I have been following your original pie crest recipe for years now and i love it, we all love it, my mama does too, thank you. I was also wondering if coconut milk would work with this recipe? I imagine it would. Thanks again. 🙏🏽💕

[@evettecorrea441]

I just got done doing this coconut pie, just waiting for it to cool, so I can put the toppings on it, and put it in the broiler, and get some oh my goodness!

[@n40tom]

Whenever I'm making a pie that is very liquid like this or pumpkin pie, , I fill it about three-quarters away full put it in the oven put the rest of the liquid ingredients in a measuring cup and fill up the pie the rest of the way while it is in the oven . Thanks for the video

[@denises9455]

❤❤❤

[@patriciagimay9195]

Hi Nana,looks a lovely recipe and I am going to try to bake it too. Can you say if the milk that you added was warm or did you wait till it cooled down before adding it to the eggs. Also was the pie baked using the fan too in the oven or without. Thanking you. LOVE your videos. Also if i made the pie crust using coconut oil would it be the same weight as the oil you used for yours.Thanking you

[@mcalislr]

Looks yummy. I bought one of those cookbooks as well, I grew up in the 70's/80's and it was a book my mom went to a lot. Tried and true. You don't have any yummy baked rice pudding recipes do you? The kind that gets the pudding on top?

[@sharonwise4736]

I tried your coconut custard pie today, and it did taste pretty good but the recipe I use calls for evaporated milk instead of regular and I like that the best. Hope you will try it with evaporated milk and see what you think. Thanks Nana

[@patriciagimay9195]

Hi Nana,When you say 2 1/2 cups of milk is this measured from the glass liquide measuring cup or the cups for the dry ingredients. I'm asking this as i measured mine from the glass one which gave me 625grams and it was too much for my 9inch baking tin. I never had enough dough to bake it into a slightly larger one. I tried the coconut oli too and i had to stop and make it with the veg oil as the coconut pastry was breaking into bits and was unable to roll as it got harder when cooling and was breaking.But I just poured what I could and added the liquide that was left into little small tartlets tins with no pastry. will see how they turn out.But will keep trying as it looks so lovely and i love coconut too :-)

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Nana, I really enjoy your channel!!! You gave no oven temperature or approximate cooking time....I want to make this pie so please give the oven temperature and time. Thanks & God Bless, Linda

[@NanasCookery]

It's there now. Enjoy!

[@krissybooth3839]

That looks delicious can't wait to try it. Can I have oven temperature and cook time please. Thank you

[@dianegentile9460]

Hi Gloria. This pie looks so DELISH. However, I am confused about the coconut. Am I supposed to take a half cup out of the 31/2 oz??

[@bathshuaeshetbnayahu2687]

Can you use half and half instead of regular milk?

[@myshoreline2]

Can I use pastry pie crush where I lay it out in a pie dish?

[@lorettabyrd1492]

You are a Sweetheart ☺💗 Thank you 💗

[@irenelloyd4247]

Hi Nana , love watching you but could you tell me how much coconut you put in the pie & what temperature & how long you backed your pie please ? 😘

[@khendson]

that's perfect! thanks nana

[@alissasitihaura3567]

Was that a dried shreded coconut? I live in a tropical country where it's not common things to be sold in stores, can i use fresh coconut flesh instead??

[@polanco187]

Can you use coconut milk instead of cow's milk?

[@dianegentile9460]

I am confused bout coconut. Do you take out a half cup from the 3 1/2 oz. to reserve for topping? Thank you

[@NanasCookery]

Yes-you take it out of the 3 1/2 oz. I just measured that amount and it makes a heaping cup and a half so removing 1/2 cup would give you a little over a cup in the pie. You can put more but you don't want to make the pie too dense. thanks for watching!

[@dianegentile9460]

Thank you so much for answering so soon. I am going to make this for the fourth of July barbeque at my son and daughter-in-law. They both love coconut custard pie. I am so glad that I subscribed to your channel and being able to learn from a master. You are so enjoyable. I feel like I know you. Have a blessed day. P.S. I am also making Sand Pudding!!!!

[@sheilaharewood2318]

Hi nana I’m going to try your pie crust recipe never did one with cooking oil before I always use margarine and crisco but my Lord Yours look so delicious that I am going to have a go at it. One question is that store bought coconut or can you use fresh grated coconut. Thanks nana

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Sheila I really don't know but there is some sweetener added to the packaged and it is grated very finely, Nana

[@carolcunningham3878]

Can you use sweetened condensed milk along with the 2percent milk

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Carol I have only ever used condensed milk in a recipe if it was called for. I have never used it as a substitute for a milk and sugar combo so I can't tell you how it would work.

[@emilydill9357]

What temperature is it cooked at and for how long

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Emily, 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes .Test that a sharp knife stuck halfway between edge and center comes out clean which means the custard is almost set and and will finish after you take it out. It is normal for a custard pie to rise some in the oven and then sink a little as it cools. Nana

[@dianegentile9460]

It just doesn't sound like a whole lot going into the pie 😵😵I think I am having one of my "senior" moments; temporary brain freeze 😕😕

[@kathychappell7924]

I live this pie! This is the third time I’ve made it and this time I had my broiler on high for the brown sugar topping …big mistake! It burned sooo quickly. The topping is fine but the edges of the crust are seared so gonna have to toss🥲.

[@NanasCookery]

OOh no! Better luck next time. Broiling is always tricky Nana

[@lindalewis5068]

I love old cookbooks and I buy the ones that are dirt that no one wants

[@NanasCookery]

You're right .They are the best. It means they were really used and often they open right up to the favorite recipe.

Sweetened or unsweetened coconut?

How much coconut?

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Nel, The recipe calls for 3 and a half ounces because I think that was the size of the can of coconut. I weighed the 3 and a half ounces and it is 1 and a half cups. I hope you enjoy it Nana

[@rosavalentin2601]

Never said at what temp to cook it ar

[@NanasCookery]

Hi Rosa Sorry about that. The recipe is written beneath the video and its 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes Nana

[@arkansastrash320]

I am a very experienced cook but you did not mention tempurature of the oven or bake time?I figure 350 till its solid set?Eggs you should allways break in a seperate bowl not just because of getting a shell in it but because of eggs with lots of that white stuff in them or a bad egg. Also I tell everyone throw out all your canola oil, soybean oil ,corn oil it causes heart disease.Use coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil but for baking use light olive oil only!! Or coconut oil.

[@NanasCookery]

Hi! the temperature and time are there now. Enjoy!
