Ingredients:  
Filling
4 cups water
1 1/4 cups dried milk powder
1 cup sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 cup cornstarch
5 eggs
2 1/4 cups coconut flakes, divided use
2 (9-inch) baked pie crusts

Meringue
8 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Combine water, powdered milk and sugar in 5 1/2-quart or larger pot and place overheat. Stir well. When sugar and milk are thoroughly dissolved, remove 1 cup of liquid and place in a mixing bowl; set aside. Add butter to pot and bring just to a boil.
Meanwhile, add cornstarch and eggs to reserved 1 cup liquid. Whisk well to remove all lumps. Add cornstarch mixture to the just-boiling pot, whisking continuously. (Be prepared for mixture to bubble up.)
Stir continuously while mixture thickens, reduce heat and allow to simmer 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat-stir in 2 cups coconut. Divide mixture between pie shells.
For Meringue: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. With mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. With mixer running, add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until mixture has stiff peaks. Do not under-beat. Fold in vanilla, then spread meringue atop pies, making sure meringue is taken to the edge of the pie crust to seal completely. Sprinkle top of each pie with remaining 1/4 cup coconut. Bake until meringue is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
