• In a medium bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt, then press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the pie: Whisk the granulated sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisking occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then temper the egg yolks: carefully remove a cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk in the beaten eggs yolks. Add the yolk mixture to the milk and then add the butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the bananas, then transfer the pie filling to the cooled graham cracker crust.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly onto the surface of the filling. Chill until completely set, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, then spoon the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut chips and slice to serve.

Steps:

• For the crust: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until it begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Toss and continue to bake, tossing very frequently, until all of the coconut is evenly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Whisk the egg white, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until combined. Fold in the coconut. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray and press in the mixture, forming a 1/4-inch crust around the bottom and sides. Bake until toasted and brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes.
• For the filling: Peel the bananas and slice crosswise into thin rounds. Set aside while you make the custard.
• Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt together in a medium saucepan. Vigorously whisk in the yolks, milk and vanilla until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, about 4 minutes. Once the mixture is simmering, continue to cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and pour a third of the custard over the coconut crust. Arrange the banana slices over the custard in an even layer and top with the remaining custard. Chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• For the topping: Beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it just starts to thicken. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, then spoon onto the pie to cover the custard. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat all-purpose and cake flours, powdered sugar and salt with wire whisk. Cut 1/4 cup butter and the shortening into dry ingredients using pastry cutter or your fingertips until mixture looks like tiny pebbles. Not all butter and shortening pieces have to be same size.
• Sprinkle buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, over dry ingredients and mix until all flour is moistened and dough almost leaves side of bowl. Continue to stir until dough comes together. Knead a few times with your hands just to bring it together. Pat dough into a round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 375°F.
• Spread coconut evenly on ungreased cookie sheet. Toast coconut in oven 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Pour coconut on plate to cool completely.
• Place chilled dough on lightly floured surface. Roll dough into large circle about 1/8 inch thick and 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate. Place dough in 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim off any excess dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Flute edge of crust. Line dough with piece of buttered foil, buttered side down. Shape foil so all crust is covered with foil. (Foil keeps crust from overbrowning.)
• Bake crust 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes longer or until dough is lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.
• In 3-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut, the half-and-half, milk, cream of coconut and granulated sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally (do not boil or mixture may curdle).
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat egg yolks and cornstarch with wire whisk. When milk mixture simmers, use ladle to scoop 1 cup into yolk mixture, beating constantly with wire whisk. Repeat with another cup of milk mixture. Pour egg yolk mixture into simmering cream. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly with rubber spatula, until mixture simmers and thickens. Once thickened, cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
• Remove custard from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the vanilla. Cool 10 minutes. Pour half of the custard into cooled pie crust. Sprinkle bananas over custard and top with remaining custard. Smooth top of custard and cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent a tough layer from forming. Refrigerate until filling is cold, at least 2 hours but no more than 24 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Open the puff pastry and remove one of the sheets and let it thaw at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
• Spread your unsweetened flaked coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 350'F for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on this as it will brown very fast. Remove as soon as the ends of the coconut become golden. Let cool.
• For The Pudding:.
• Prepare the pudding according to the package directions "except" only use one cup of non- dairy milk. This will make the pudding thicker. Once the pudding boils add 1 cup of coconut whipped cream.
• Give it a good whisk to incorporate.
• Take it off the heat and add the vegan gelatin and whisk again to break up the gelatin. Whisk for a few minutes until the mixture is smooth. Put a lid on it and set aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• To prepare the puff pastry crust:.
• After the puff pastry has thawed out roll it out to fit into a 9" pie dish. If any holes develop, use water to glue the pastry back together.
• Place the rolled out pastry into the pie pan and make sure you get all the air bubbles out from underneath. Prick with a fork.
• Place it into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. I re-pricked the pastry about 7 minutes into the cooking as it did puff up more.
• Once the puff pastry is golden remove from the oven and put it on a metal rack to cool slightly.
• Place enough of the sliced banana onto the puff pastry crust to cover the bottom (and sides if you wish).
• Give the pudding another whisk and then pour it on top of the sliced bananas. Spread it evenly then top with more banana slices.
• Then spread the remaining two cups of coconut whipped cream on top of the banana slices. Spread it out evenly.
• Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the coconut whipped cream Put it into the fridge and let it chill for at least 3-4 hours.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Make the shell:
• In a food processor or bowl combine well the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of the coconut, reserving the remaining 1 tablespoon for garnish, and the egg, stirring until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface several times to blend it well and press it onto the bottom and up the side of an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill the shell for 30 minutes, line it with foil, and fill the foil with the rice. Bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 375°F. oven for 10 minutes, remove the rice and foil carefully, and bake the shell for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until it is golden. Let the shell cool completely in the pan or a rack.
• Make the filling:
• In a heavy saucepan whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, and the eggs, add the milk in a slow stream, whisking, and bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly. Simmer the pastry cream, whisking, for 2 minutes, transfer it to a bowl, and stir in the coconut extract, the vanilla, and the Malibu rum. Chill the pastry cream, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 4 hours, or until it is cold. The pastry cream may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Slice thin on the diagonal enough of the bananas (about 2 1/2) to cover the bottom of the shell in one layer, arrange the slices in the shell, and cover them with the pastry cream, spreading it evenly. Slice thin on the diagonal the remaining bananas and arrange the slices decoratively over the pastry cream in solid layers, making each layer gradually smaller. In a small saucepan melt the apple jelly over moderate heat, while it is still warm brush it over the banana slices, coating them completely, and chill the tart for 1 hour. The tart may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.
• Just before serving, in a chilled bowl beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip, and pipe it decoratively around the edge of the tart. Sprinkle the cream with the reserved 1 tablespoon coconut and remove the side of the pan.

Steps:

• Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and water in large bowl.
