INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups milk, scalded
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup coarsely shredded fresh coconut

PREPARATION:

Combine cornstarch, sugar and salt; mix well. Gradually stir scalded milk into cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for two minutes, or until thickened and shiny. Add a small amount of the hot mixture to eggs and beat until well blended. Return to pan and beat for two minutes over medium heat until slightly thickened, being careful not to let mixture curdle.
