Angel Food Pie

Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 3 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
- 1/2 cup colored sweetened flake coconut

Directions:
- Whisk cornstarch and 3/4 cup sugar in a saucepan; pour boiling water into cornstarch mixture, place over medium-low heat, and whisk until mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 5 minutes.
- Beat egg whites with salt in a large metal or glass bowl, using an electric mixer, until egg whites hold stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Beat 3 tablespoons sugar into egg whites, followed by vanilla extract. Slowly pour hot cornstarch mixture into egg whites and beat constantly until mixture is stiff.
- Pour whipped filling into pie crust and sprinkle with colored Chill until set.
