If your family is constantly clowning around during desert time, this guide will have them eating the pie rather than throwing it at one another.

To complete this How-To you will need:

9" pie crust
2½ c. whole milk
¾ c. sugar
3 eggs
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. shredded toasted coconut
2 tbsp. butter
¼ c. confectioners' sugar
A wire whisk
A small saucepan
An electric beater
Whipped cream (optional)

Warning: Raw egg carries a risk of salmonella infection. Use pasteurized egg whites to reduce your risk.

Step 1: Bake the pie crust

Bake a store-bought or homemade pie crust until it is golden brown and set it aside to cool.

Step 2: Whisk the milk and sugar

Whisk together the sugar and 2 cups of the milk in the small saucepan, and then bring it to a simmer over low heat.

Step 3: Separate the eggs

Separate the eggs and temper the egg yolks with the heated milk and sugar mixture. Then add everything back to the saucepan. Save the egg whites.

Tip: Tempering prevents the eggs from scrambling by slowly increasing the temperature with a small amount of the heated liquid.

Step 4: Add the cornstarch

Dissolve the cornstarch with the remaining milk and add it to the saucepan. Allow it to thicken for 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 5: Combine the vanilla, coconut, and butter

Stir in the vanilla, coconut, and butter, and allow the mixture to cool before pouring it into the pie shell.

Step 6: Make the meringue

Make the meringue by beating the saved egg whites with an electric beater and slowly adding the confectioners' sugar until the mixture forms stiff peaks.

Step 7: Bake and serve

Top the pie with the meringue and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Cut and serve.
