Directions
- Prepare the Coconut Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Gradually stir in 2 3/4 cups milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and slowly add the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

- Stir in 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 2 tbsp butter until smooth.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the coconut filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Spread evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Serve:
