Published: Friday, May 10, 2019
1 c. sweetened flaked coconut
3 c. half-and-half
2 eggs, beaten
¾ c. white sugar
½ c. all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
9" pie shell, baked
1 c. frozen whipped topping, thawed
Preheat oven to 350°. Spread coconut on a baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and stir in ¾ cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie.
Pour filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours. Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut. —8 servings.
