Cream Pie Filling

2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. cream
1/2 c. sugar
3 TBS cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
additional milk to add to cornstarch

Mix eggs, milk, cream, and sugar.  Heat over medium till hot but not boiling.  Add cornstarch that has been mixed with a bit of cold milk (to make a thick but stirable mixture).  Cook until thickened.  Add vanilla.  Pour into cooled pie crust and chill.  Top with whipped cream.

This makes a delicious pie all by itself, but you can also make this pie into any "cream pie."  We put sliced bananas on the bottom and pour the pie filling over for banana cream.  Add toasted coconut for coconut cream.
