Toasted Coconut Pie

• 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.

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.
