Ingredients

1-baked pie shell
1 7-oz. bag (or more depending on how much coconut you want in it), coconut, toasted. Use whatever method you like...I do mine in the oven.
Filling:
1/2 c. sugar
2-3 T. cornstarch (depending on how thick you want this)
1/8 t. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 t. vanilla, (1/2 t. coconut extract -optional)
1/2 c. whipping cream, whipped.

Directions

1

Mix egg yolks and milk together until thoroughly blended. Stir into dry ingredients and cook like a pudding. ( I do mine in the microwave, just pausing to stir every now and again) When thickened, add vanilla and coconut extract, if using. Chill, pressing plastic wrap to surface to avoid a 'skin'. When completely chilled, fold in whipped cream and about half or more of the toasted coconut. Turn into prepared pie shell. Top with the rest of the toasted coconut.
