It’s one of those sleeper recipes that came from my rather unassuming Bridal Edition Betty Crocker Cookbook, but I tell ya, Betty really hit some home runs as a faux homemaker extraordinaire (you did know Betty Crocker wasn’t a real person, right?) Even my husband, who likes cream pies about as much as most men like watching Gilmore Girls, admitted to genuinely liking this version. Before we roll out the watermelon and ice cream, I’m not ready to be done with the lemon bars, the carrot cake, or this delectable coconut cream pie. Thank you again for posting.Easter may have come and gone, but is that any reason to stop making spring-y desserts? No way! As far as I’m concerned, we still have another good six weeks of spring (100 degree temps notwithstanding). But I am still really happy with this as an experiment and I'll make it again but I will just use less salt. I do not know if that was because of using canned coconut milk as I did use unsalted butter.
The pudding was the perfect texture very and easy to put together, It was a bit too strong in salt. Otherwise, I followed everything else you had written in your recipe. I used half and half as that was what I had on hand, I replaced the sugar with Splenda and I reconstituted unsweetened coconut in a hot Splenda simple syrup. I used 14 ounces of canned coconut milk (not the stuff you make drinks with) and used half and half to make up the rest of the 4 cups of milk. I make these comments for anyone else who wishes to try using canned coconut milk and have it be sugar free.
And as I wanted to use canned coconut milk to try to bump up the coconut flavor, I did not do your recipe exactly.
