Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and well combined.
8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Allow the pie to cool for about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
11. Serve chilled with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes on top.
