Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch pie crust fully baked and cooled

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup toasted sweetened coconut plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • whipped cream I used about 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 packet Whip-It, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 3 Tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • Whisk together. It will be pretty lumpy at this point. The flour will dissolve, and the coconut milk will melt into the half-and-half, I promise. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly.

  • Any time I make a pudding, custard, or ice cream base (basically, whenever I cook eggs) I like to push it through a strainer to make sure that it is really smooth and no little bits of cooked egg end up in my custard. I put my custard into an ice bath to chill it down faster, I was in a bit of a rush.
