Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Gradually stir 1 cup of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the chopped coconut, butter and vanilla until butter is melted.

For meringue, in a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.

Pour hot filling into crust. Spread meringue on top, sealing edges to crust. Sprinkle with flaked coconut. Bake at 350ºF for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour; chill for 1-2 hours before serving. Keep leftovers refrigerated.
