SO HOW'D IT GO?
this tastes great but the filling is hardly enough for two pies. when i make something for the first time, i follow directions exactly. i did and the filling bubbled and churned but never really appeared to set like i would expect from pie filling. i was a bit hopeful when, because of the heat, it expanded somewhat; but as it cooled it deflated. anyone else have these issues?
This sounds good. Is the can of sweetened coconut like coconut cream or shredded coconut or something else?
Fabulously rich, like candy.
It looks great in the picture! I can't wait to make it.
