Miraculous Coconut Meringue Pie

It is because of this pie that my father in law says he finally married my mother in law. My sister in law claims that it is because of this pie that she and her hubby were able to conceive. And everyone on my in laws side goes crazy for this pie. Its like the holy grail of pies.  Now its miraculous powers aside, it does taste pretty amazing too!

Step 1: Ingredients

I would have taken a picture of the ingredients for you but, really it's mostly a lot of milk, flour, sugar, eggs, nothing too out of the ordinary.

Pie Crust
2 cups flour
1 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
( This makes a double crust recipe which you will only need half, but I will show a sweet treat you can make with the left overs)

Coconut Pudding
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 slightly beaten egg yolks in a small mixing bowl
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flaked coconut

Meringue
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
6 tablespoons sugar

I have a "THING" for coconut so I'll definitely be trying this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Who knows, maybe something magical will happen for me too! :)

It will be magical if I don't gain 5lbs after having made this pie! I did have the good sense to share the magic and take half of it to the neighbors:)

I LOVE coconut cream pie with meringue.....My Mom made it this way, but most people don't! I can't wait to try your recipe!

Thank you, I hope it lives up to your moms! I have always found it to be a great compliment when the foods I make come anywhere close to someones mothers version. Because lets face it moms is always the best!
