Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Add the unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges to fit. Crimp the edges to form a decorative border.
4
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
5
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the toasted coconut flakes and salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
