Michael Rohwer, who with his wife, Margie, owns the Bread & Butter Cafe and Ajo Cafe, provided Taste Plus and the Tucson Citizen with this recipe. Ingredients:
3 cups milk |
5 egg yolks |
3/4 cup sugar |
4 tablespoons cornstarch |
5 ounces flaked coconut |
1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring |
1 (9 inch) baked pie crusts |
1 ounce toasted coconut |
1 1/4 cups non-dairy whipped topping, whipped with mixer until smooth |
Directions:
1. Combine 1/2 cup milk and corn starch. Dissolve corn starch thoroughly and set aside.
2. In a sauce pan combine remaining milk, egg yolks and sugar. Place on high heat and bring to simmer, stirring constantly.
3. Just before it starts to boil, add milk and corn starch mixture. Using a wire whisk, whip thoroughly until smooth. As soon as it thickens, remove from heat and strain.
