Not so long ago I had the privilege and pleasure of tasting
Marlene‘s Coconut Cream Pie!!! What a truly ‘Heavenly’ experience! In fact every
mouthful was so delicious it was literally and
figuratively ‘out of this world’!!! If you want a ‘slice’ of Heaven here on
earth then you must taste Marlene‘s Coconut Cream Pie! My first taste made me
wonder if I had died and gone to Heaven!!! Respectfully submitted, The Most
Reverend Dorian A. Baxter, B.A., O.T.C., M.Div., Archbishop of the Federation of
Independent Anglican Churches of North America.
Note: Archbishop Baxter, a.k.a. Elvis Priestley, is, according
to the media, the most photographed and interviewed Elvis Tribute Artist in the
world. Thank you, thank you very much!

Creamy coconut filling topped with
a light, fluffy meringue, sprinkled with toasted coconut. Luscious! One of the
yummiest things on earth!
In a saucepan: ½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
2½ cups milk
Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring
constantly. Cook 2 minutes.
Add: 2 egg yolks, in a cup, mixed together with a couple tablespoons of
the hot milk mixture, then poured slowly into milk mixture and whisked together.
Cook until thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add: 2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons white vanilla
¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
Fill cooked pie shell.
Spread with Meringue Topping:
2 egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon white vanilla
4 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
Beat until fluffy and no grains of sugar felt when meringue is
rubbed between your thumb and forefinger. Pile on cooled pie. Make sure meringue
touches edges of pie shell to prevent shrinkage. Sprinkle with fine
coconut. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes only. Cool. Refrigerate
for 4 hours to set before slicing with a sharp knife heated in hot water to cut
the meringue smoothly.
Tip: Any crumb pie shell may be used instead of a baked pastry shell.
Tip: Stir 1½ cups drained crushed pineapple into the filling. Chill.
Tip: Cover with whipped cream topping instead of meringue.
