Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups mound coconut
1 baked 9 inch pie shell, cooled

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 8 hours in the fridge.

Tips:

Use good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
Don't overbeat the batter, as this will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
