Hi: The reader who was looking for a vintage recipe for coconut pie made by
the Kress Company can find it online by typing in Coach's Coconut Pie.  It
looks good and easy to make.

Coconut pie

1 pie crust
1 can (13 1/2 oz.) coconut milk, shaken well 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
sweetened shredded or flaked coconut, toasted
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into four pieces

Topping
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, well chilled 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup sweetened shredded or flaked coconut, toasted

Heat oven to 450+#F.

Brush a small amount of coconut milk onto pie crust (just enough to moisten
it).  Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the toasted coconut evenly on dough, then
press it lightly into dough, just enough to make it stick.

Prick bottom and side with fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. 
Cool.

Heat the remaining coconut milk, the whole milk, 1/2 cup toasted coconut,
vanilla, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the salt to a simmer in 2-quart saucepan
over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes
to dissolve sugar.

In a separate large bowl, with whisk, beat the egg yolks, remaining 1/3 cup
sugar and the cornstarch until well combined.  Gradually beat the simmering
liquid into the yolk mixture to temper it, then return the entire mixture to
saucepan, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula.

Heat the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, beating constantly with whisk,
5 to 6 minutes or until mixture is thickened.

Remove from heat; beat in the coconut extract and butter. Pour into the cooled
crust; press a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling
and refrigerate until the filling is cold and firm, at least 3 hours or
overnight.

Just before serving, beat the cream and sugar in a chilled bowl using electric
mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.  Add the rum and continue to beat
until slightly stiff peaks are formed.  Spread or pipe the whipped cream over
the chilled filling.  Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted coconut.  Store in refrigerator.
