Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325ðF (165ðC) and ensure your pie shell is baked and ready.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth and pale.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the flour with a little cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  5. Pour the flour slurry into the milk and egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  6. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens significantly.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Allow the custard mixture to cool slightly, but keep it warm enough to mix.
  9. Stir half of the grated coconut into the custard filling.
  10. Pour the coconut custard into the baked pie shell.
  11. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and frothy peaks form.
  12. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites while beating until glossy.
  13. Spread the meringue evenly over the hot custard, sealing the edges to the crust.
  14. Sprinkle the remaining grated coconut over the top of the meringue.
  15. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
  16. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
