I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this pie was surprisingly good. The cream cheese filling helped to balance out the coconut flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie crust turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This coconut cream pie was a hit at my last party! The crust was flaky and the filling was smooth and creamy. I used fresh coconut milk and it gave the pie an extra special flavor.
