Instructions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. For the crust: Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, honey, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Avoid mixing too much to prevent the crust from getting dense.
3. Press the mixture evenly across the base and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan or dish that's not greased. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven, set it on a wire rack, and allow it to cool down.
4. For the filling: In a bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks appear.
5. In a large 6-quart bowl, blend the sweetened condensed milk, diced pineapple, toasted shredded coconut, and 4 ounces of the prepared whipped cream. Whisk thoroughly. (Store the rest of the whipped cream in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness.) Gradually stir in the Key lime juice a bit at a timedon't dump it all in quickly. The juice reacts with the cream to thicken it naturally. Stir gently to avoid overworking it, which could make it watery. The filling should thicken up nicely for the right texture.
6. When the crust is fully cooled, add the filling to the center and smooth it out to the edges using a spoon or offset spatula. Refrigerate for 2 hours until it's fully firm.
7. Load a piping bag halfway with the leftover whipped cream and pipe small mounds around the edge of the chilled pie. Scatter toasted coconut chips over the whipped cream. Brew some coffee, slice the pie to your preferred size, and relax with a piece!
