Toasted Coconut Cream Pie

Submitted by: econo1943 
You 'll need a double boiler for this ethereal dessert, because you 'll want the egg custard to cook slowly and beautifully. When the custard is thick and creamy, a sweetened, foamy egg-white mixture is folded in, and then brandy whipped cream is folded into that. This luscious filling is then poured into a pastry shell that has been brushed with apricot glaze, and then the pie is sprinkled with toasted coconut.
