Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Have you ever made this? I have such a hard time with getting cream pies to settle as cream pies. They usually come out like pudding. Thanks, Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Yes, Tracy, I've made this. I had the opposite problem. . .it was " too stiff " so next time I think I'll reduce the thickener abit. The flavor is DELICIOUS! I use the plain, unsweetened macaroon coconut (the natural stuff without the propolyne glycol that makes most coconut soft and pliable). Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Thanks LaDonna, I will also have to check on my coconut. I buy mine in bulk at my health food store but I am not sure if it has propolyne glycol in it or not. Mine are not very soft or pliable. They aren't long strands either. They are very short and narrow pieces. Thanks again, I can't wait to make this! Tracy > Yes, Tracy, I've made this.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 From your description I believe your coconut is probably not " contaminated " with propolyne glycol. I've never seen that type in a health food store. The regular, soft macaroon coconut that comes from a regular grocery store is treated with this preservative. Enjoy your coconut cream pie!
