Coconut Cream Pie

This is Bubba's favorite pie! I have been making it for years. The custard is the extact same as for a banana pie. It's perfect!

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 egg yolks
4 T. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 bag of shredded coconut
1 cup whipping cream that has been whipped with a 1/4 cup sugar

Pour the cream, half and half and whole milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Whisk in the sugar and cornstarch and stir over medium heat until the pudding begins to thicken. Temper the egg yolks with a little of the milk mixture and then pour back into the milk mixture, whisking constantly. After the pudding is thickened, turn off the heat and remove from the burner; stir in the butter and vanilla and stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated. Fold in the coconut. Pour into a baked pie shell and top with whipped cream. Serve cold.
