Do you think you could do this recipe gluten free with sorghum flour and a little xantham gum?

Oh, forgot. I think the best brand of coconut oil is Nutiva, but I’ve seen a number of other good ones that are raw, virgin coconut oils.

I absolutely love, love, love this site. Thought I would try to give back and answer a question about where to find Coconut Oil. I buy the largest size (54 oz) because it’s cheaper, but Vitacost.com has the best price (Vitamin Shoppe usually also has the same price for the oil, too). I’ve found other items there to be much lower in price, and the shipping is cheap! Hope this helps.

Hi Karen,

I am part of realfoodmedia.com, and we are just starting up our own ad network. It is frustrating trying to get good ads, isn’t it! Ann Marie from Cheeseslave.com is the one finding all of the sponsors and setting things in order for it. You could ask her if it will open to more people in the future, if you want.

Hi Kim. I love your blog–wish I could eat at your house! I have a business question. Could you tell me what ad network you use for your ads? I am having such a problem coming up with a good solution, and I think the ads on your site are really great. I’ve worked with different companies that promise to get the right ads on my site, and the current one has ZERO food ads!

Thanks so much,
Karen Hochman

I don’t think I have ever commented here, but I so enjoy your blog. I am having difficulty finding coconut oil. Where does one find it? Suggestions?

This sounds SO amazing. I wanted to make it for Easter, but I don’t have enough ramekins. I’ll be making it soon though!

I just made this, and they turned out great!
I used small, thick-walled mugs for the custard cups.

At my first taste, I actually teared up a bit, because I felt I was tasting my long-gone grandmother’s famous lemon meringue pie!

The recipe is indeed forgiving. I used a mix of turbinado & agave, and I used all the zest & juice of two lemons, which turned out to be almost twice the specified amount. But they came out just perfect at 40 minutes. Zingy from the extra lemon!

I’ll be making a double batch for a potluck Easter party!
And I can’t wait to try it with lime! And maybe some shredded coconut in, & on top…

Thanks as always, Kimi!

Sorry: evaporated palm sugar (typo)…Also, there was coconut power at Whole Foods. Can those sugars be used?

KH: I find that some of the evaporated palm sugars have a less sweet flavor (a bit more like rapadura, but not as sweet). So it will have a bit of a different taste, but I think it should still work. It will also make the dessert a little darker. What company does coconut power? I hadn’t heard of it before. Let me know if you try and how it came out!
