1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. flaked coconut toasted
1 tsp coconut extract or vanilla extract

Directions:
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch and salt.
Bring to a boil over LOW heat (using a double-boiler works best), whisking constantly.
When it starts to boil a little bit and thickens up to about the consistency of a thick pudding (this takes about 15-20 minutes so BE PATIENT), remove from heat.
Stir in 3/4 cup of the coconut and the coconut (or vanilla) extract. 
Pour into pie shell and chill for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.
While pie is cooling, whip together topping ingredients with electric beaters. 
When pie is completely cooled, top with whipped topping and sprinkle on remaining toasted coconut.
