Our family loves this pie. I have found I always need to cook it a lot longer than 40 minutes as it is very moist in the center still. Just wondering if you would give me any helpful advice. I thought maybe im doing something wrong? Should I use less coconut? Cant wait to try your other recipes as its very easy to follow along with you.
Thank you for the question and taking the time to visit my site! Everyone’s oven cooks a little different. If the center is still not firm after 40 minutes, cover the pie loosely with foil, to prevent the crust from over browning, and cook it in 5 minute intervals until firm. Also the pie will tighten some when cooled.
