Coconut Cream Pie

List of Ingredients




" You can use fresh coconut as the recipe calls for (it's to die for!) or you can use frozen or other coconut. "


Ingredients


1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
2 cups fresh shredded coconut



Directions


1
In a small bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, egg, egg yolk, and 1/2 cup of the
milk; stir until smooth. Set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, cook remaining milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt over
medium heat; stir constantly until mixture begins to boil. Slowly stir in reserved
flour mixture; keep stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture is
thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter
melts; set aside.
3
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until foamy. Gradually add remaining
1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently
fold egg whites into custard. Spoon mixture into pastry shell. Sprinkle top of pie
with 1 1/2 cups coconut. Toast remaining coconut and sprinkle over top. Cover
and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly.
