In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, coconut, coconut oil, salt, and bring to a boil. Thicken with dissolved cornstarch and eggs, then pour over the crust.
Chill the tart for at least 2 hours. Whip the heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form, then spread over the cooled tart and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
