How to Make Cream Pie Coconut Or Banana

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks slightly. Temper the yolks by slowly whisking in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  5. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens further.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut OR 1 mashed ripe banana.
  7. **Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Pour the creamy filling into your pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
  10. Spread the meringue evenly over the filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
