3 eggs, separated

Set aside., In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add sugar, beating on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the cream, butter, lemon juice, salt and extract. Fold in coconut., With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form; beat on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into coconut mixture. Pour into pastry shell., Bake at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary).

This pie is a bit sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using a darker chocolate for the ganache next time to balance out the sweetness.
