Preparation
In a medium saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Allow to soften 5 min. Heat gently just until dissolved.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs with sugar until combined. Whisk in cornstarch. Whisk in milk. Whisk in dissolved gelatin. Transfer mixture to a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, just until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) untoasted coconut. Cool to room temperature.
Whip cream until light. Fold into cooled custard. Mound into the fully baked pie crust. Refrigerate.
