PIE SHELL:

2 c. coconut
1/4 c. butter

FILLING:

1 c. pumpkin, seasoned with pumpkin pie spices
2/3 c. milk
1 c. Dream Whip or whipping cream
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding

PIE SHELL: Broil coconut with butter lightly until browned. Hold back 2 tablespoons. Press the balance on oiled pie dish.

FILLING: If using whipping cream, first beat until stiff peaks form. If using Dream Whip, proceed. Fold in Dream Whip or whipping cream into the vanilla instant pudding that has been made with the 2/3 cup of milk. Add pumpkin mix and beat one minute then pour into pie shell. Chill until set (about 2 hours). Garnish with Dream Whip and remaining coconut.

Regular pie crust can be used instead of the coconut shell.
