The BEST CREAM PIE Ever

Darla Tooley

This is a copykat recipe of Baker’s Square pie

Baker’s Square is famous for their pies, especially in the Midwest. This is one of their best! You can make this home made pie at home, it isn’t too hard!

3 cups half-and-half

2 eggs

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the coconut and the vanilla extract. Pour into pie shell and chill 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.

Can make this as a banana cream pie instead if you prefer
