Instructions
- Pre-bake the pie crust if using a raw crust, then let it cool completely before adding the filling.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add milk, whisking to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 6-8 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking constantly until incorporated.
- PoÙur the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Remove from heat, then stir in shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and butter until well blended.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and beat briefly to incorporate.
- Spoon the meringue over the coconut cream filling, spreading it to cover the filling completely and sealing the edges to the crust. Use the back of a spoon to create swirls and peaks.
