add the first four ingreidients, mix well, add eggs beat well.Slowly add milk a little ar a time, stiring well after each addition. Cook over medium heat ,stirring constantly till mixture comes to boil boil 1 minute ,or until mixture is thick remove from heat add butter ,vanilla and coconut. Mix well and pour into warm pie schell.Cover with plastic wrap and chill, when cool put whipped cream or cool whip on top, sprinkle with toasted coconut for a pretty and tasty top. ...........I find that 2/3 cups of sugar makes it a little to sweet ..I prefer to use 1/2 cup sugar. This is a very creamy wonderfull pudding one of the best I have ever used. To make a choclate pie increase the sugar to 1 cup add 2 tablespoon's cocoa powder to the dry ingreidients.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it is truly delicious. I had a little trouble getting it to set though, even after 14 hours. It seems to be a standard cream pie filling, so I am attributing this to "operator error". I only had Jumbo eggs, and there was a lot of commotion in the kitchen when I was making this, so I am thinking I did not let it come to a full boil, or didn't let it cook for the full minte after the full boil. It did set to a pudding consistancy and was still very, very good. I will be trying this again.
