Happy Valentine's Day Tammy n Chris
Yummy ❤❤❤
That coconut meringue pie looks so delicious! Thank you Tammy. Im gonna try it.
I love your recipe! I just use 3/4 C sugar and 1 C cold milk to dissolve my corn starch! Otherwise we do the exact same! I cook mine in the microwave as well! I started cooking mine in the microwave as soon as l got my first? I cannot remember? But l am 72 n l know I had one when l was in my early 20's! I thought l was the only one that did so until l watched you make a chocolate pie! lol l love your channel and careful instructions and the way you are unafraid to say the brand you use and love! I too have you master cookbook and l love it! I have read it cover to cover! It's great n l highly recommend it for new cooks and old ones! We never get too old to learn! Cooking is my happy place! I love feeding people good food!
Have you ever figured out how to make a sugar free? Both my kids have to have no sugar diets! For health reasons! I have been meaning to try making them one with a sugar substitute but just have not done so! My daughter was diagnosed with Lyme b Fibro when she was in her early 40's and had been sugar free for several years before because it would cause her to flare n she and my son have RA n sugar is not good for it or them! They love sweet potato pies and l make them and buttermilk at the holidays! I almost made a chocolate n coconut for Christmas but l decided l had baked enough! lol

Good morning Mrs Tammy, I sure do enjoy watching your cooking videos. The coconut pie looks delicious! The blouse that you are wearing is beautiful! Would you please let me know where you purchased it from. I pray for you and Mr Chris that you both have a wonderful and blessed Sunday. May God bless you and your family.
I’ve made it and it is wonderful!
Tammy do you have a French Coconut Pie Reciepe?
I have enjoyed cooking for 65 of my 74 years on this Earth and never heard of putting corn starch in meringue, old dogs do learn new tricks. That pie looks good enough to not share with anyone!.
I think you're supposed to line your crust with parchment paper or foil before adding the pie weights. I prefer to just use old dry beans–they're smaller so you don't get the divots, and I've used the same ones for years.
Put some parchment in your pie crust under the pie weights. I love your videos and I received my replacement cookbook this week. Thank you. I have never had a failure using your recipes. You and Chris stay well and please continue cooking.
Looks like perfection, great instructions for one of my favorite pies.
Thanks Tammy. Yummy
Happy Valentine's day to Tammy and Chris and one of my absolute favorite pies I'm a coconut cream or chocolate pie girl hands down and I love both with meringue too that looks delicious Tammy 😋
