3 tbsp. has. soup (45 ml) of icing sugar

1 C. has. tea (5 ml) of vanilla extract

1/2 cup (125 mL) sweetened coconut flakes, toasted and cooled

Make the filling:

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt and flour. Slowly whisk in 1 cup (250 mL) half/half.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 2 cups (500 ml) half/half and 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in the egg mixture and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil again and thickens.

Remove from heat and add food coloring (if using), 2 tbsp. has. tea (10 ml) vanilla and 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) coconut, stirring until well blended. Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap (the plastic should be directly on the surface of the hot custard). Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
