Prepare pastry cream according to instructions. While still hot, stir in coconut. Pour into pie crust. Preheat oven to 350o. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla until they form soft peaks.

Bake until meringue is golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool before slicing. Refrigerate.

Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, beat in vanilla and strain into a clean bowl if necessary.
