DESCRIPTION
Mama's Coconut Cream Pie. The basic recipe for this pie came from my Mother and the conversion recipe for cooking in the Microwave came from my sister. To use it for a pudding, just don't cook it as long so it won't be thick enough to slice.

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under coconut, Cream, Pies

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup plain flour (generous)
1/4 tspn salt
2 cups regular milk
3 slightly beaten egg yolks
2 TBLS butter
1 tspn vanilla
1 small can flaked coconut*
1 9-inch baked pie crust

Mama likes to use the bag of Frozen Coconut. I believe it is unsweetened.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a microwave bowl, combine milk, sugar, flour and salt. Beat until smooth. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes. Let stand one minute. Beat well and cook one or two more minutes on HIGH. Let stand 30 seconds. Beat again. Put small amount of hot mixture into beaten eggs to warm them up in order not to curdle them. Then, add to other mixture. Microwave 2 minutes on ROAST (or medium). Add butter, vanilla and coconut (save a little coconut to sprinkle on top of meringue. Stir well. Put into baked pie shell. Add meringue to top while filling is still hot. Sprinkle with coconut and bake in 375 degree oven till top is slightly brown. Or, top with Whipped Cream. It's better if made a day before it is eaten. Enjoy! So easy!
