It's finally here and ready for baking! Mary Ann released her famous coconut cream pie recipe to the world. This was taken from the "Mary Ann's Cookbook" and I have yet to try it. If any of you bake this pie, please tell me how it came out. You can purchase Mary Ann's Cookbook at Amazon.com.

3 egg yolks Dash of salt 3/4 cup sugar 3 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 cup coconut 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 baked 9-inch pie shell 3 egg whites Coconut for garnish In the top of a double boiler over simmering water beat the egg yolks and salt. Add the sugar, milk, and butter. As soon as the bottom pot boils, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water. Add it to the egg yolk mixture a little at a time. Cook until thick, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Add the coconut and vanilla. Pour the filling into the baked pie shell. Beat the egg whites with a small amount of sugar and spread the meringue over the pie. Sprinkle coconut on top and toast in the oven. Makes 6 servings.

When watching Gilligans Island, back in the early 70's I never understood how Mary Ann baked a pie without an oven?

RIP Dawn Wells.

She was hot, that’s how.

What they’ve done to a man those shaky hands.

The professor probably created a solar over. He was a very capable man. He was capable of creating anything, except a way off the island.

There is some speculation that he didn’t want off the island.

She made them at mid day in the tropical sun.

Mary Ann “baked”. Now that’s funny!

Miss Nevada BTW.

I wondered where she got the milk for those pies and the flour for the crust.

[Jonty30]

Coconut milk.

Making an oven is easy.

I want to know where she got the eggs. Sea Turtles perhaps?

Yes she was. Ginger was second-rate in my book…

Bailey was my pick over Jennifer, too.

[ansel12]

I understand the ingredients, milk, flour, vanilla, butter, sugar, but where did she find coconut?

[Jane Long]

Flour can be made from breadfruit.

She was 75 when I directed her in a beast cancer awareness PSA and she was beautiful. Very lovely lady and easy to chat with. I brought up how Russell (The Professor) was a good friend of one of my besties and she gushed “If he hadn’t married I would have married him!! I was always in love with that man!” At the end of our day, I smiled and said “I’m moving from Team Ginger to you.”

She got more fan mail than any of the other castaways.

[crosdaddy]

Well, if they could get them all their mail, why couldn’t they get them off that dang island?

[OKSooner]

She just did, and you ax too many questions. :)

RIP DW
