It must be touching and covering the surface of the pudding like a skin. This will keep the pudding soft and from forming a thick skin or crust on top as it cools. Prepare meringue. Put warm filling in baked pie crust. Top with meringue and sprinkle remaining coconut over the meringue. Bake according to directions for meringue. (Meringue recipe in this book)

For Banana Pudding, when the pudding thickens, remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. May assemble the pudding warm or cooled.Slice bananas in thin slices. Put Vanilla Wafers on the bottom of a serving dish. Put in a layer of pudding (about 1/3 of pudding). Add a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding then a layer of banana slices on top of the vanilla wafers. Repeat doing 3 or 4 layers of each. This makes a small banana pudding.
