1 1/2 cups half-and-half

1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded fresh coconut
1 teaspoon coconut (or vanilla) extract
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions:

1. Mix the first five ingredients together in a big pyrex bowl, and stir (with a whisk) until it is well mixed. 
2. Put the bowl covered in the microwave for two minutes, then stir.
3. Repeat step 2 until you notice it begin to thicken (may take longer than you think, but this is still quicker than doing it on the stove!) 
4. Stir the thickened coconut mix and continue cooking in the microwave for shorter periods of time (40 seconds, 30 seconds, 20 seconds...) until it reaches the desired thickness for pie filling. Try to imagine it being thick enough to not make the crust go soggy! 
5. Mix in half of the coconut shavings and let cool in the fridge.
6. Spread the other half out over an un-greased pan and toast in the oven or toaster oven. Watch carefully, it tends to go from not toasted to burnt rather quickly! 
7. When the filling is cool, layer it in the pie like so:

Toasted Coconut

Enjoy!
