## Ingredients

- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.66 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pre-baked pie crust
- whipped cream for topping

## Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, constantly stirring. As the mixture heats up, it will begin to thicken. Continue stirring until it has reached a pudding-like consistency.
3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Once the milk mixture thickens, slowly pour a small amount of the hot mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
4. Gradually pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens further.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut until evenly combined.
6. Pour the coconut mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
8. Before serving, top the pie with a generous layer of whipped cream and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut if desired.
