Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine 1 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of shortening, 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Blend until coarse crumbs. Add ice water as needed. Chill for 30 minutes.

  3. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water. In a mixer, whip 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 4 egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 cup of coconut, 1 cup of diced pineapple, and the bloomed gelatin.
  4. Pour custard into the cooled crust. Smooth top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  5. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread it over the custard. Garnish with coconut and optional almonds.
