(Stir constantly while cooking this mixture.) Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks. Slowly add 1 cup of filling to egg yolks while stirring. Add egg yolk mixture to the remaining filling in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring well, until filling thickens and a spoon leaves a trail in the filling when stirred. Add vanilla, margarine and coconut. Pour into baked shell.
