Any time I make a pie I use one can of evaporated milk and use regular milk to make up for the rest of the measure of milk . Evaporated milk makes a pie rich and creamy and delicious .Nothing is better than an old fashioned homemade pie any flavor , chocolate, vanilla, coconut, lemon , pineapple, any of them are yummy! Blessings!💕

Sometimes it can overwhelm the pie flavor.

I love your shirt from Ms D from Detroit love you cook like my Grandma I'm 64 now lol

This was my sister's holiday special, of many. When holiday cooking came to my house, it became my special on my dessert table. Along with many others. Love you Ms Brenda. I like it when you talk about George ♥️🙏

My grandmother use to make this for me every summer that I stayed with her. I prefer pies over cakes. Good job Ms. Brenda❤

Your coconut custard pie looked so delicious! Wish I had a slice! Love watching from South Carolina!!

Hello Ms. Brenda, your coconut custard pie looks so good!!! My grandma would make custard and more so her famous "Sugar Cream" Pies! Sugar Cream is still my all time favorite! My mom was also a great cook & baker, both her pies and cobblers. My husband loved her peach cobbler. I wanted to say, my mom always said " two shakes of a lamb's tail" 😄 Happy I can now watch you on youtube as well as on Facebook. You are a "breath of fresh air" to see and enjoy , and I thank you so much for your strong faith (and not afraid to talk of sweet Jesus) , for your great ideas & ways and just plain talking to us as a good friend, as that is what you are to so very many of us!! Love your cookbooks!!

I made it without the shell and sliced peaches and fresh blueberries in it!! Delicious

Hello Brenda I was watching your macaroni and cheese video and we used to put canned milk instead of sweet milk in macaroni and cheese and it got really really good you'll have to try it sometime thank you from mifflintown Pennsylvania

Yes. It makes it so rich.

😊 definitely gonna try making this .for my grand babies. Never made it before . . looks so good 👍

I made this pie last night without the coconut because I didn’t have any. It is delicious. Thank you Brenda. Having a piece right now. Yummy!!!

Hi Brenda, This pie looks really good with the toasted coconut on top. I enjoy listening to you talk and share your life with us. I can really identify with you as I had all those childhood diseases as well. I got the sugar cubes, too. God Bless You!

Your pies look so good! My mom make those too! Blessings❣️❣️

Ms Brenda, we love custard pie! Couldn’t help but notice your canning jars and pears on the counters. Hope you share some of your canning recipes sometime . God Bless you😊

We LOVE ur stories 💗. Never stop telling them to us. Will make this soon for my husband, his favorite! 🥰

Looks so good Brenda! My Mom made the best pies and I miss her everyday. ❤

I watch you on FB all the time, first time watching on YouTube! Thank you for this recipe, my granny made custard pie all the time!❤️

Hello from southeast Texas! I have 3 little ones and expecting #4 in June. My youngest is a little girl who is 20 months. When I was pregnant with her I had just found your channel. I was so sick in my pregnancy with her and I used to listen to your videos. She LOVES watching “Big Mama” with me now. We cook 3 meals a day homemade. We homeschool as well. She just loves watching Big Mama cook as do I! You are such a blessing to so many. Looks like your going to can some pears! I see your jars and bowl of pears, I assumed from your tree! Praying His many blessings over you and your family!

Hi Brenda, I think it's, "two shakes of a sheep's tail". That's what I remember... it's kind of a tounge twister! Your custard pie looks so good. Take care now and Love ya 🌷💕🌷

Ms. Brenda I have both cookbooks and love them. I like watching you in kitchen and learning through show and tell better! Blessings to you!!

My Grandpa’s favorite pie was egg custard, so that was the first pie I learned to make…standing on a chair in Grandma’s kitchen! Love custard pie still. ♥️

I made them with my grandmother also. I’m 78 so I’ve been making them a long while and still love them. Such wonderful memories were made in her kitchen, I remember her cooking on her wood burning stove.

Hi Brenda love watching you make these delicious dishes.Going to try this pie!

I love coconut too. The pie looks delicious! And that old saying is, “two shakes of a sheep’s tail.” My Mama would say it us all the time, when we was kids lol.

My grandmother used to say “in 2 shakes of a lamb’s tail”

My family has ask for Coconut Cream pie for Easter! Think I’ll make this custard pie! Thank you for this recipe!

I could listen to you all day! You have a sweet soul and I love hearing your stories! You are such a joy and I’m thankful I found you on social media! Thank you for making my day brighter and I’m sure a million others as well! Bless you amd thank you!😘❤️💜😘

My mom used to make custard pie often. it was so good and I wish I could remember her recipe. Nothing tasted as good as her custard pie and the little custard tarts she would make.

Miss Brenda now I absolutely must make your coconut custard pie! I have never made one before so excuse my question but did you use unsweetened or sweetened coconut

Thank you Brenda, I’m in FL visiting with my son and daughter in-law. My daughter in-law told me she had 2 of your cook books but she hadn’t watched you on FB or YouTube. Now she will be watching. 🤗🙏

Brenda I just love watching your videos. You are so comforting to listen too. I am 57 years old and you remind me of my mom and my aunts except the accent lol. I wanted to tell you I got my cookbook last week and I'm so excited . 😊

Hello Brenda Happy Easter I am so glad you put on this I have been craving custard pie. Thank you xo love from Boston Massachusetts ❤

So glad that you are on YouTube now. That pie looks so yummy I definitely need to try it.

Ms. Brenda, my mouth watered with that bite. I’ll be making this asap!

I'm going to make a coconut custard pie tomorrow, you made me hungry for one. Love watching your videos.

Dear Miss Brenda I just got your first cookbook. What a blessing this is to read. Your love is in every page. Thank you for the hard work this took and is a gift to all of us.

Hi

I love both of her cookbooks! Ms Brenda Gantt is a blessing to so many people!

I have her first book to I love it.

The pie looks great!!

I love these pies! My Grandmother made these for us 😅

My kids love buttermilk pies! Very similar ingredients.

❤ Looks delicious !😋

Did you know you can toast coconut in the microwave? Set for a minute on a flat microwavable plate, stir with a fork and repeat at 1 minute intervals until it browns. Then you can put in the butter if you wish. Easy peas! Love a good custard pie!❤

Me and my oldest sister always helped our Granny in the kitchen. We have helped her grate fresh coconut often… she always took a 16 penny nail and a hammer and crack the coconuts open. I tell everybody that I learned about Jesus in my Granny’s kitchen. We went to Church with her every Sunday too. I remember those dinners on the ground… wonderful memories! 🙌❤️

I've made this several times I absolutely love it even the ones that don't like coconut

You always make me smile Ms Brenda!

Looks absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to make it. One suggestion - add coconut to the title of the video as not everyone has had one before. Also my great grannie use to make one without the coconut and make two with coconut. Apparently one of my uncles didn’t like or was allergic to coconut (can’t remember what the issue really was). Anyways I’ve been searching for a good recipe and candy wait to make this one! Do you have a chocolate pie recipe? My great grannie use to make that too! She’s been gone a long time but all of us great grandkids miss her so much! She was a true southern god loving lady and you remind me of her!

Egg custard and coconut custard

Yum! Yum! These pies are delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipes.

I’m going to make one, looks delicious!!

I am so sure this will be good because your momma used to make it. Love your videos and your first cookbook. Waiting on the mext one!

I tried this recipe. It turned out great!

“Two shakes of a lambs tail” 👍

I love your stories I could listen to them all day 😊💗 thanks for the recipe I am definitely going to make it

This looks so good. I’m going to make one.

Thank you for sharing your recipe. Love all your recipes. Enjoy your day!❤️🙏

That pie looks so good!!

I like your judgment calls! Do that all the time. I made your pie paw pie crust today. Easy breezy!

Hi Brenda from Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA! Your coconut custard pie looks delicious! ~ Pat Canfield

Custard pie is one of my favorites. Yummy yum

I have always toasted coconut on a cookie sheet in the oven, stirring it every tem minutes until the color desired.

I haven’t made one of these in years but it’s definitely going on the menu for this Easter. This was my Mamaw’s favorite dessert, they are so very good.

Hi Brenda

Colored coconut. Festive.

One of my favorite pie’s 😋 yum

I love custard pie especially when it's real cold. My mom was such a good cook like you and I learned from my mom just like you did. I also love a good raisin pie my mom made the best ever but I don't have her recipe and I can't find one is their anyway that you could make a raisin pie sometime so i can have it I would read a appreciate it.tgank you for your good food recipes I love watching you cook and talk to us just like we were right there with you.

I love custard pie!! 💗

Yummy yum! I will bake this pie for Easter.❤️💕😍😀👍👍🏾

Have you ever used a can of coconut milk for part of the milk? It adds an extra layer of that coconut flavor.

I love your kitchen! It looks so warm and inviting

My husband’s favorite pie plus Raisin! Everytime I got sick he would make me a custard pie! His mother did that for him, , the longer I was sick the more he made! I got quick really fast!

love this recipe...I also add a cup of pecans...so easy, so good :)

I love coconut pie it so good my mom use to make it every thing from scratch the crust, and the feeling from scratch it was so good

It’s two shakes of a lambs tail. I love your cooking and stories. I was born in Texas and loved your recipes

I will try this! Two questions first; is that pie shell pre-baked or do you pour the custard into a raw shell? Is the oven temperature 350°?

I had the sugar cube too..and yes we played outside til dark, tag, statues hide and seek..oh what wonderful memories i have...i had the best parents a girl could ask for...i love the way you present your videos...heartfelt...thank u for a great walk down memory lane...😘❤🙏

It would be great if you gave the receipt at the end. They look so great .

Here in Virginia we say, "Two shakes of a lamb's tail". Maybe that is what you were trying to think of. LOL! I adore custard pie. Will have to try your recipe.

Looks delicious

Looks delicious. Is this a store bought frozen pie shell? Also measurements are just estimates. Liquid measuring cups are not the same for measuring dry ingredients. It really doesn't matter much with cooking, but baking is more of an exact science. I would definately make this!

I love both egg custard and coconut custard pies.

My Gram called it Butterscotch pie and she made it at least once a month cuz it was Gramps favorite. Just use some brown sugar no coconut for that flavor...ALWAYS with meringue piled on top. We loved it when we got to go to her house and it was in the frig. MMMMM

When I was a kid my grandparents had a well with a bucket you had to drop and draw you water up. Everybody drank out of the same dipper!. My cousins and I played hide and seek way after dark. Caught lighting bugs and June bugs. We didn't sit in the house watching TV with a/c because there wasn't any and it was cooler outside. We spent our days playing games like kick the can and Red Rover Red Rover. Wonderful childhood memories

Love y'all, Miss Brenda! Thanks for sharing with us!

Yummmmmm! I love a coconut custard pie! Well in fact I love all kinds of custard pies!

Yum....yum! Eggs were on AD for $1.99 dz....I picked up several Dz after paying over $5 dz this last year. This will be PERFECT to make with some!

I love 💞 custard pie and I love coconut it's so delicious 😋

Love your stories. I've never eat coconut pie before. Thank you for sharing. I'm watching from Ohio. Blessings today. ❤️❤️

Looks delicious.

When I make egg custard, pumpkin… I put the pie pan/crust on a cookie sheet and set it on the shelf in the oven pulled out a little fill it or almost, sprinkle a little nutmeg, push the rack in Leftover that doesn’t fit can be set in cups in a pan. Add some water to the pan so it goes about 1/2 way up cups. Bake until done

I get a coconut cake occasionally at the grocery store but they don’t put enough coconut in the icing. I remember the sugar cube for polio. I was in the first grade. And I remember also the TB shot on the inside of the forearm and back then the schools would take you to the dentist fica student in elementary school needed it. The county paid for the dentist. Wish I had let them take me when I was in the Fifth grade to get my front teeth filled. I didn’t get the fillings until I was in the 10th grade but by then my mom had to pay for it. I think it was only available to elementary kids. I was 16 then and that filling lasted better than any filling that I ever had.

Oh my goodness, so yummy !

Love the custard pies!!

👋♥️👋Miss Brenda, never enough stories. Love your reminiscing. Love ya always. Yummy pie. 👋♥️♥️♥️♥️👋

I really enjoy watching you cook.God bless.

I make a custard pie every once in a while in the fall and winter time

Do you prebake the pie crust? Sweet or unsweet coconut?

Do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut?

Yummy. Could you put the recipe in the comments or under your description. Thanks

Me too Miss Brenda, we all had mumps, chicken pox’s, several kinds of measles. We got the sugar cube to in elementary school. We all ate dirt, drank out of the hose, and all 6 of us made it.

Brenda have you ever made the coconut custard pie that makes its own crust

Its the Impossible pie,use Bisquick

Those days, people knew their neighbors, helped raise each others children and helped each other in need.

Miss Brenda if you have a latin store near you they normally have coconuts like 7-8 months out of the year

Can you use lactaid-free milk in this recipe?

That coconut pie is going to be delicious.

Looks yummy some people put cinnamon and nutmeg in it too

Do you know that when you smile, the room lights up? It's true. Had to tell you that. Can't wait to make this pie. Thanks!

I love egg custard pie, and coconut cream pie. But, for some reason I've never liked the coconut chess pies. If it's pie I usually like them, I guess coconut chess and raisin rice pie are the only two that I don't like.

Read this twice and thought it said, “CUTIE pie!” 😂

Wonderful. Great fun as well.

We say 2 shakes of a lambs tail here in Pa. Miss Brenda you are an awesome lady ❤️

Up north hear we say quicker then the shake of a Lambs tail! Pie looks s good . I use a recipe for it that whips up in the blender that makes its own crust. But you can be sure I'll try yours Brenda.
