Soften the gelatin in the water and set aside.
Mix together in a saucepan the ½ c. sugar, flour and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until it boils. Boil (stirring) for 1 minute. Remove from heat and blend in the soft gelatin. Set aside to cool until the mixture is partially set (like egg whites). Stir in the 2 extracts.
Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cooled gelatin mixture.\
Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar and the next ½ c. sugar to form a stiff meringue. Carefully fold that into the cream/gelatin mix. If desired, fold in most of the coconut.
Pile into the pie shell, sprinkle with more coconut if using, and refrigerate until set (at least 2 hours). Serve chilled.
