Preparation
- In a small bowl, add water and gelatin powder. Set aside for gelatin to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath large enough for your saucepan to fit into, set aside until step 4.
- In a large saucepan, mix together 1/3 cup granulated sugar, flour, salt, and milk. Bring mixture to boil over medium heat and boil for 1 minute while stirring.
- Whisk in the gelatin mixture, then remove pan from heat. Mix in almond and vanilla extracts then place pan in the ice bath to rapidly cool.
- In a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
- In another small bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
- Transfer the saucepan mixture into a large bowl and use an electric mixer to mix until creamy. Fold in the whipped cream, egg white mixture, and shredded coconut just until combined.
- Transfer mixture to the pie crust and spread into an even layer.
- Whip remaining 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form and spread or pipe cream onto pie.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
