Ingredients

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
3 cups half-and-half
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie.
Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours.
Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut.

Tips:

Use fresh coconut milk for the best flavor. You can make your own coconut milk by blending 1 cup of shredded coconut with 2 cups of water, then straining it through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
Be sure to chill the pie crust before baking it. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking and becoming too brown.
Don't overbake the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue topping by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Be sure to watch it closely so that the meringue doesn't burn.
Garnish the pie with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or fresh berries before serving.
