Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze coconut custard pie?

Custard pies don’t take well to freezing. The dairy and eggs change texture when frozen, so we recommend you enjoy this pie soon after you make it.

What thickener should I use for coconut custard pie?

Custard is usually thickened with eggs, but ours also uses a bit of cornstarch. The combination helps the custard set perfectly and slice with ease.

Why is my custard filling runny?

If your custard is runny, this means the cornstarch hasn’t been activated. It takes a full minute for the starch to activate, so make sure you boil it long enough.

Why is my custard filling grainy?

Overcooking the custard or cooking at too high of a heat can cause the custard to curdle, creating a grainy texture. Cornstarch will help prevent this, so just take care to cook the custard at a moderate temperature.
