To make this delicious Vanilla Coconut Cream Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded coconut

For the topping:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the shredded coconut.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
To make the topping, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
