I actually think this recipe should be title "German Chocolate Pie" because the coconut flavor is very pronounced. I loved the taste but my brother had one bite and he was done. (He hates coconut.) Everyone else at the Thanksgiving table loved it. I made the recipe exactly as listed and it turned out great. For the crust, I just grabbed the ball of dough out of the food processor and worked it in my hands a bit and it stuck together just fine.

This pie turned out delicious and was very popular on Pie Day! There are a few buts, though: I used the largest dates I could find (about 2 inches long), but I also had trouble getting the crust to hold together. At the same time, I had more than enough crust to fill two pie dishes (I froze the second one, haven't tested how well that turns out when I bake another pie). So I wonder if maybe the dry ingredients in the crust should be half of what they are. That would create a reasonable amount of crust and a more moist dough. I'll try doing that next time. The filling set up just fine, but after reading the review above I did add an extra tablespoon of arrowroot just to be safe, therefore I don't know if it would have also worked with the amount that the recipe calls for.

I made this pie for a party where I knew we'd have everything from vegetarians to lactose-intolerant folks to regular omnivores. Everyone loved the pie -- it has marvelous flavor without being overly sweet, and the nuts give it a hearty quality that meant people were satisfied with a relatively small piece. A superb recipe. I will definitely be making this again!

I too made this pie and it never set up. it ran like goo when I went to cut it. I had to freeze it so we could eat. The flavor is good but I think this recipe is way off. It need twice the dates and coconut oil to get the crust to hold together, forget about "kneading for a minute" no way. So I just formed it into the pie plate. Did as instructed for the pie ingredients but like I said it doesn't set up firm as the picture displays. My next try I'll add unflavored gelatin to the milk/arrowroot combo to get it to firm up. The flavor is very good but this recipe needs some tweaking. I cook a lot and my results are 99.9% successful so this one threw me for a loop. Any suggestions appreciated. And Beth's review, did you have any of these problems.
