Yep you heard it right….<\/h1>\n

Remember the movie about the pants…well, we don’t wear the same size pants….but we do share the love of goodies! <\/p>\n

My friends, Dina, Kryss and I try to see each other once a month at least. And this past week we met for lunch and Kryss presented us with the cutest travelling plate. My birthday was the most recent so I got it first to start a new tradition. So this evening as we cookout I will present it to Dina  with a completely insanely yummy coconut cream meringue pie (don’t worry, I wouldn’t leave ya hangin, I put the recipe below \ud83d\ude09 )! Then it’ll be her turn to put something on the plate and get it to Kryss…and so on and so forth!!! Ahhhhh I can’t wait to share with you when it gets back to me…..and whatever I decide to sent it forth with!!!!<\/p>\n

\"Pie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coconut Cream Meringue Pie<\/span><\/h2>\n

1 – 9 inch pie shell, baked<\/p>\n

For the filling:<\/p>\n

2\/3 Cup Sugar<\/p>\n

1\/4 Cup cornstarch<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

2 Cups Milk<\/p>\n

3 egg YOLKS lightly beaten (save the whites!)<\/p>\n

1 cup flaked sweeten coconut finely shredded<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons butter<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

In a saucepan mix sugar, corn starch and salt. Add milk until mixed and bring to a boil on medium heat until thickened and it’ll get bubbly too. (Be patient, it’ll thicken) then add a little hot mixture into the egg yolks and mix and pour back into saucepan and bring to boil on medium and cook 2-3 min more. Remove from heat and add coconut, butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth!<\/p>\n

Now pour the filing into the pie crust!<\/p>\n

For the meringue:<\/p>\n

3 egg whites<\/p>\n

6 Tablespoons sugar <\/p>\n

1\/2 Cup flaked coconut<\/p>\n

Beat egg whites adding each Tablespoon of sugar one at a time until still peaks form. Spoon over filling sealing against the edges of the crust. Sprinkle top with coconut and bake on 375 until top starts to golden brown.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! Maybe get a plate, or container, and start your own tradition! <3 I’ll let you know when it gets back \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
