Add brown sugar, salt and butter and pulse until combined.
Evenly press into a 9-inch pie plate.
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before filling.
To make filling:
With an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream to medium peaks. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add milk and flavorings and mix until smooth.
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 2 additions.
Spread into the graham cracker crust. Top with shredded coconut.
Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, though pie will be easier to slice after 4-6 hours. This is a great dessert to make ahead! Pie will keep in the fridge for several days.
Notes
NOTES:
You can use either sweetened or unsweetened coconut in the crust and topping, per your preference.
For additional flavor, toast coconut before using. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread coconut on a sheet pan and bake until it just turns golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn, and give it a few stirs as it toasts.
You can also substitute 2 cups of frozen whipped topping (thawed) for the heavy whipped cream in the filling. Omit step #1.
