Directions:
1. Prepare, bake, and cool pastry shell.
2. Mix sugar, flour, and salt in medium-sized saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and bubbles, about 2 minutes.
3. Beat egg yolks slightly in small bowl; slowly stir in about half of the hot mixture; pour back into saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly over low heat, one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter; cool slightly.
4. Chop half of coconut finely. Stir into custard. Spoon mixture into baked pastry shell. Press a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper on surface to prevent skin from forming. Chill 4 hours or until firm enough to cut.
5. Meanwhile, spread remaining coconut onto small cookie sheet. Toast in 300º oven for 8-10 minutes.
6. Just before serving, beat cream until stiff in small bowl. Spread or pipe on top of pie. Garnish with toasted coconut.

Personal Notes:
Never made this. Don't really like cream pies, but Dave loves coconut cream pies, so thought I'd save (just in case I want to make for him).
