Three-in-One Cream Pies!

Snow day, milk is expiring, what do you do? Make cream pies! Kids will love to help and hubby will be grateful! 
I got this fabulous recipe from a lovely tea room in Oklahoma City which has long since gone out of business. I always triple the recipe to make coconut and chocolate cream pies, plus banana pudding. 
Ohhh, I just had an idea! You could layer each pudding in a parfait glass and top it with whipped cream. Kind of a Neapolitan pudding!
These measurements are for one pie.

CREAM PIE FILLING

1 9" baked pie crust (I use Pillsbury) instructions on the side of the box.

         1 cup sugar

         4 2/3 Tablespoons flour (heaping)

         3 Tablespoons cornstarch

         1/8 teaspoon salt

 Mix in medium bowl.

         2 2/3 cups milk

         4 egg yolks

Mix together milk and yolks.Add dry ingredients. Stir constantly in a medium saucepan until thick.

Add:

         1/2  cup of butter

         1 teaspoon of vanilla.

You can add 1 cup of coconut, fresh bananas or 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for a variety.

Simple ingredients you probably have around the house,

Flour, sugar, salt, cornstarch, eggs, vanilla and butter.

Separate the eggs, saving your egg whites to use in omeletts or
macaroon cookies.

Mix together dry ingredients in medium bowl.

Stir together milk and eggs.

Combine liquid and dry ingredients in medium saucepan.

Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly.

Cook until thick. Don't worry if it looks lumpy.

Add butter and vanilla. (You see 1 1/2 sticks
of butter because I made a triple recipe.)

Add 1 cup coconut and pour into pie shell.

For chocolate, add a cup of chocolate chips.

With no trouble at all you have two beautiful pies.

Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
You can top the coconut with toasted coconut and
the chocolate with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips.
