CRUST
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons (or more) ice water
FILLING
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups sugar
1 and 1/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut (about 5 ounces)
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 and 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons powdered sugar
8 thin lemon slices
FOR CRUST: Mix flour, cake flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt in processor.
Add chilled butter and shortening and cut in, using on/off turns, until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process
until moist clumps form. If dough is too dry, add more water by teaspoonfuls.
Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate
1 hour. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough
soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat oven to 350F. Butter 9-inch-
diameter glass pie dish. Roll out dough on lightly floured work surface to
12-inch round. Transfer to prepared dish. Trim crust edge, leaving
1/2-inch overhang. Decoratively crimp overheang. Freeze 15 minutes.
Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until
crust is set and rim is pale golden, about 20 minutes. Remove foil
and beans. Cool completely. Maintain oven temperature.
FOR FILLING: Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks and salt
in large bowl to blend. Add 1 and 1/4 cups sugar and beat until mixture
is thick and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in coconut, 1/4 cup chilled whipping
cream, lemon juice, melted butter, lemon peel, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla and almond extract.
Poor filling into crust. Bake until filling is golden and set, about 40
minutes. Cool on rack. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours.
(Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
Beat remaining 3/4 cup cream, powdered sugar and remaining 3/4 teaspoon
vanilla extract in large bowl until stiff peaks form. Pipe whipped
cream around border of pie. Garnish with lemon slices and serve.
Serves 8.
