Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Pulse the saltines, coconut, sugar and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add the butter and continue to pulse until the crumbs begin to clump together. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (the crust will be thick). Bake until the crust is browned around the edges and lightly browned on the bottom, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool slightly.
• Make the filling: Remove the peel from 1 lemon using a vegetable peeler, removing just the peel and not the pith. Transfer the peel to a food processor. Remove the peel from the other lemon and discard the peel. Cut off the white pith from both lemons; chop the flesh, removing any seeds, and add the flesh to the food processor along with the condensed milk. Puree, scraping down the sides. Add the egg yolks and process until combined. Strain the filling through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Pour over the crust and gently wiggle to distribute the filling. Bake until the filling is set but still slightly wiggly, about 20 minutes. Transfer to the rack and let cool 1 hour, then refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours.

• To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Using your thumb and index finger, crimp the edges of the pie shell. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Set the pie shell to the side while you make the filling.

• While the sugar crust is being refrigerated, test each of the three eyes at the stem end of the coconut to see which is the softest. Then, use an ice pick or a screwdriver and a hammer to pierce two of the eyes. Strain water through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve for another use or discard.
• Place coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes, or until coconut shell begins to crack. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Wrap coconut in a clean kitchen towel; holding coconut with one hand, hit it with a hammer in the same place several times to crack the outer shell and split the coconut into several large pieces.
• Separate coconut flesh from shell, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark outer skin. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the coconut, creating long shaved pieces about 1/4 inch wide. You will need 1 1/4 cups; chill remaining coconut in an airtight container for another use.
• Remove crust from refrigerator. Cover with parchment, and fill with pie weights or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
