Return to saucepan; bring to gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add the margarine and vanilla; stir until margarine is melted. Add coconut and mix well. Pour mixture into a baked 9" pie crust. Allow to cool. Top with whipped cream or meringue topping. For Meringue: Beat room temperature egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 Tbs. at a time, until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved (2-4 minutes) Beat in vanilla and spread over hot filling mixture, sealing to the edges of pastry. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, Allow to cool completely before cutting.
