Recipe for coconut Cream pie?

I just had coconut Cream flavored Ice Cream and I am dying to make my own coconut cream pie. Any recipe is good as long as you give good detail. Also I don't have many cooking tools just a stove, mixer, and some bowls. Please and thank you.Recipe for coconut Cream pie?
I am a fellow chef so i am going to help you out.





Ingredients:


3 cups half-and-half


2 eggs


3/4 cup white sugar


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 cup flaked coconut, toasted


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked


1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed





Directions:





In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the coconut and the vanilla extract. Pour into pie shell and chill 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.


Top with whipped topping, and with remaining 1/4 cup of coconut.


Note: To toast coconut, spread it in an ungreased pan and bake in a 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionallyRecipe for coconut Cream pie?
2 cups milk 1/2 tsp salt


1/2 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups shredded coconut


4 TBS cornstarch 1 tsp vanilla


2 eggs, separated Pastry for one 9 inch crust


1 TBS butter





Scald 1 1/2 cups milk in top of double boiler. ( I just use a saucepan.)


Combine sugar, salt and cornstarch in a bowl.


Add remaining milk.


Pour paste into hot milk and cook until thickened. (It should resemble warm pudding)


Beat egg YOLKS.


Pour small amount of hot mixture over yolks before adding them to milk.


Cook 2 minutes longer.


Remove from heat, add butter, vanilla and 3/4 cup shredded coconut.


Cool and pour into baked shell.


Cover with meringue made by adding 4 TBS sugar to beaten egg white.


Sprinkle remaining coconut over top and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.





(If you have never made meringue, you may be surprised how much mixing it takes for your egg whites to thicken up. The test is to dip a knife into the whites and if it makes little peaks then it is ready.)





If you need a pie crust recipe, I have an easy one. Another thing... separate the eggs by cracking the egg and letting the whites slip through your fingers as you hold the yolk.
Look on the package of Flaked Coconut, it's on almost every package and it's good.
