TOASTED COCONUT MOUSSE PIE

1-1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate cookies (without frosting!)
2 T. sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
2 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 cup coconut (toasted)
2 egg whites, beaten until stiff

Mix crushed cookie crumbs and sugar. Add butter and blend thoroughly. Take a small amount of crumb mixture out to sprinkle on top of pie – press remaining mixture into pie pan and set aside. Whip cream. Fold in powdered sugar, vanilla, coconut, and beaten egg whites. Pour mixture into pie shell and top with leftover crumbs. Freeze overnight or until firm.
