Steps:

• Chill pie crusts until ready to use.

• Bake the empty pie crusts for 10 minutes, then remove, and let sit while the filling is being prepared.

Beat eggs in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cornstarch and mix fully until lumps are gone. Pour the egg mixture into the coconut mixture.
• Place bowl in the microwave and heat on low setting, stirring occasionally, until mixture has come to a boil and thickened, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove bowl from the microwave and stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into the 2 pie crusts.
