Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers and mix with butter and sugar. Press into a 9-inch pie pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and sugar over medium heat. Whisk gently until it simmers. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl and temper them with hot milk mixture. Pour back into saucepan and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Cool slightly and pour into cooled crust, smoothing the top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, adding sugar. Spread whipped cream over chilled pie and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- Slice the pie, garnish with mint sprig or lime zest, and serve chilled.

Notes
Ensure proper consistency in the filling by whisking continuously. Allow for adequate chill time for the best flavors. Consider toasting shredded coconut for garnish and using fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
