Desserts - Pies and Tarts
Here are my two favorites: coconut and chocolate...I also have lemon and
banana. I can give you those also if you'd like--just click on my name
to email me.

Coconut Cream Pie

1 9-inch pie shell, baked
2 cups coconut, sweetened
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups hot milk
4 egg yolks
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toast coconut by spreading it on a cookie
sheet and tossing every few minutes. This should take about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven when golden brown.

In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, mix flour, salt and sugar.
Add 1/2 cup milk and stir until smooth. Add the 1 1/2 cups hot milk and
stir constantly, until thick and smooth. Beat egg yolks in another bowl
and add 1/2 cup of the sauce to them, stirring constantly. Pour this
mixture back in the double boiler, stirring constantly. Cook a few minutes
longer. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter. Stir in 1 1/2
cups of the coconut. Pour mixture into cooled pie crust and refrigerate.
To make topping beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp.
vanilla until stiff. Pile on top of pie filling and spread to edges of
shell. Sprinkle remaining coconut on top. Keep refrigerated.

2 Tbsp. butter
FOR THE TOPPING:
