Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, salt, scalded milk, egg yolks, and coconut in the top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water, and stir constantly until mixture thickens. Once mixture is thickened, pour into a baked 9″ pie shell and let cool. Make a meringue by beating egg whites, vanilla and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spoon meringue over coconut filling, sealing around rim of pie. Brown the meringue in a 300 degree oven.
