Classic Coconut Cream Pie

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour, and salt. Mix well and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the filling into the baked pie shell. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or until firm.
  5. Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut before serving.
