1/4 teaspoon salt
1-13.5 oz can Coconut Milk

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. If using a frozen pie crust, thaw for 15 minutes before baking. Line pie crust with parchment paper or wax paper.

Mix 1/4 cup of Coconut Milk and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until cornstarch is completely dissolved.

Stirring constantly over a medium heat (being careful not to boil), add remaining Coconut Milk and cook until Coconut Milk begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Whisking constantly, pour hot Coconut Milk (a small amount at a time) into egg mixture. Pour coconut mixture into pre-baked pie shell and sprinkle with coconut.
