I don't know enough about baking to know if I should have changed some amounts of ingredients because of being at a higher elevation (5,100 feet) but mine went crazy in the oven. Here it is right after I took it out.
As you can see, the sucker rose very high and some of it went over one side and dripped onto the bottom of the oven.
By the way it's kind of a coconut cream pie. The recipe says it will have a coconut vanilla flavor. Two of my favorites! So I'm looking forward to what will happen when I cut into it.
As you can see by this picture mine didn't get that nice even crust, probably because it rose so much in the baking.
SWMBO says mine looks like a macaroon.
(To be continued once I taste it.)
O.K. Here's an update. I took some of the pie that overflowed the edge of the pie plate. It's DELICIOUS! Tastes just like it should and a little crunchy because of the overflow. I will, however, have to do some research to figure out how to keep it from rising so much.

Bruce, looks damn good.
ReplyDeleteI've just updated the post at the end.
DeleteCoconut Macaroon! My favorite, and a giant cookie at that.
ReplyDeleteTaste test just complete. Update is at the end of the post.
DeleteMmmmmm! Does look a little like the surface of the sun. Perhaps it is the altitude, and the warm, dry weather that you're not reporting, but which I wish we were getting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Man that looks good! Glad it passed the taste test. Why don't you post or pass along the recipe?
ReplyDeletePlease share the recipe. I love coconut cream and macaroons, so this sounds like it's right up my alley. :)
