4 egg yolks |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 cup flaked coconut |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided |
1 baked 9-inch pie shell |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch.
2. Gradually whisk in the half and half and egg yolks.
3. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking continually; boil for 1 minute.
4. Remove mixture from stove burner.
5. Stir in butter, flaked coconut and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature.
7. Spoon the custard mixture into the baked pie shell; chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until set.
8. Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl; using an electric mixer, beat at high speed until mixture is foamy; gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and remaining vanilla, beating until soft peaks form.
