Hi Diane! I wouldn’t recommend a total substitute, but you could probably get away with substituting some of it.

Hi Sam. Thx for sharing your recipe. I’m wanting to make this pie a little less rich so we can eat more in one sitting! If I replaced the cream with whole milk would the mixture set up firmly enough, you think? The coconut milk I have is high in fat already.

Looking forward to this pie! I’ve made so many of your desserts and love them all! Can I replace the heavy cream in pie with coconut cream?

Hi Pam! I have not tried it in the little cups, but that should work just fine. 🙂

Hi Laura! I’m so glad everyone has enjoyed it so much! Unfortunately I don’t know of a good substitute for the egg yolks here. I’m not sure it will turn out if you leave the egg yolks out. 🙁

Hello! So I ADORE this recipe.I’ve made it several times and it’s always a hit. I’m going to take it to my work tomorrow for PI Day. However one of my coworkers has an egg allergy and I thought about making a small amount of different filling in a small pie pan for him. Is there any replacement for the egg yolks? Sorry bizarre question but thought I’d ask! Not sure what leaving the eggs out would do.

Going to make your coconut pie AGAIN, honestly only son-in-law and myself love, love, love coconut but others will insist on eating a piece. This recipe is perfect and SIL and myself love it. Glad once again you posted another great recipe.

Hi Jenni! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! Are you using the graham cracker crust? If so, try tamping it a little bit more. I hope that helps. 🙂

Hi Sam, LOVE this recipe! Making it right now for my husband. I have a question tho, do you have any suggestions to keep the crust from “slipping” so much when I cook it? I press it all the way up to the very top and even putting it in the oven for the shorter end of the time, it still falls about 1/2 way down the pie plate. Maybe this doesn’t matter, just wondering if I should try something different. Wondering if the type of pie plate makes any difference? I’ve tried glass and metal so far.

Thank you so much for all of your recipes! You have definitely helped me become a better baker!

In reply to Linda.

Hi Linda! You’ll want to use a canned full-fat coconut milk, not the kind that is sold in the refrigerated section of the store. Any brand of that type should work. Hope that helps!

In reply to Lura Joy.

Hi Lura! I haven’t experimented with it, but I think it could work. You may need to alter some liquid ratios because the coconut cream is going to be a little bit thicker. 🙂

Hi Sam!
Can coconut cream be used instead of coconut milk?

In reply to Dan.

Hi Dan! I think the dulce de leche sounds really good. I haven’t tried it to know for sure but I would love to know how it turns out. 🙂

In reply to Dan.

Hi Dan! I know you can sweeten unsweetened coconut with a simple syrup mixture. I haven’t tried it myself to know exactly how to do it or what the proportions would be though.

Dan — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 14:28:41 +0000

Sorry, another question 🙂
If I want to add an extra flavor, is it ok if i add a layer between the crust and the coconut filling?
I was thinking about dulce de leche (here in Argentina the dulce de leche + coconut combination is really popular) or maybe a raspberry jam?? Or do u think it’s going to be too much?

Hi Sam! Love your page!

Thanks in advance

Hi Renee! While we haven’t tried it ourselves, Arrowroot powder may be a good substitution for you to try. If you do, let us know how it works out for you! 😊

There are a lot of recipes that require cornstarch but I have a corn allergy. Is there a good substitute?

Hi Tina! I’ve always bought canned coconut milk, the brand shouldn’t matter.
