• CRUST
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons butter

6. When the coconut mix has cooked for 15 minutes, remove from the heat and stir in the lightly beaten eggs yolks, vanilla, and almond extracts. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold into the coconut mix.
7. Spoon the filling into the pie crust and bake for 40 minutes, or until the coconut filling has set and is turning golden brown. Serve hot.
