Directions:Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a nonstick 1-quart saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar and 2 3/4 cups milk together.
Bring the milk to boiling point and scald the milk.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the remaining milk, egg yolks, and cornstarch together.
Whisk until smooth.
Temper the egg yolk mixture into the scalded milk.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Chill the pie completely, about 2 hours.

Notes: You can either make the Basic Sweet Pie Crust (see recipe) or use a store bought pie crust. This tastes just like the Williamsburg Inn's famous coconut cream pie!
