3 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
Pinch salt
1 can (14 ounces) cream of coconut, well shaken
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup key lime juice1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1 prepared graham cracker crust or
9-inch pie shell
Meringue

In small bowl, beat yolks and set aside. Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in heavy saucepan. Add cream of coconut gradually, constantly stirring with whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, and cook about 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Temper yolks with about 1/2 cup of hot mixture, adding it to yolks and quickly combining (this prevents yolks from scrambling). Add yolk mixture back to cream of coconut mixture, add butter and lime juice and combine well. Return pan to heat and boil for about 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in zest. Pour into pie shell. Make meringue (recipe follows) and put on top of hot filling, spreading to edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, until meringue is browned. Allow to cool completely before serving.
