Method
 

Preparation
  1. Unroll the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and flute the edges. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the crust with foil and fill with weights. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden, then bake an additional 3-6 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually pour in milk, stirring continuously until mixture thickens (5-7 minutes).
  4. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then gradually whisk in some hot filling. Return egg mixture to saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring.
  5. Stir in shredded coconut, butter, and vanilla until fully combined and butter melts.
  6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
