Toast 7 oz of sweetened coconut on a baking sheet at 350, stirring often (I use Baker's). Save a few and sprinkle on the topping. Either merange or whipped cream.
Bake a frozen pie crust at 375 until slightly brown.
Remove both and let cool.
In a batter bowl, melt 1/2 stick of butter
Add 1/2 c. water
One can of Evaperated Milk
Add 3 eggs ( If making meragne, use 4 egg yolks and save the whites)
Mix well
Add 3/4 c. of sugar
In a seperate cup, beat 3TBSP of corn starch in a 1/2 c. of cold water. Make sure the corn starch is blended and there's no lumps
Add to the batter bowl and whisk REALLY GOOD!
Cook for 3 min in the mircowave, remove and whisk again!!
Cook another 3 mintes or until the mixture is the consistency of pie filling. It will not get thicker.
Remove from microwave and add 3 TBSP of butter and 2 tsp of vanilla.
Pour into pie crust.
If you're doing a merangue, cook on 325 until brown. If whipping cream, wait til it is COMPLETLY COOLED before you cover the pie. (Ask me how I know!)
