Shell:
Sift 1 cup sugar and cream of tartar together; separate eggs. Beat whites in stiff peaks but not dry. Slowly add sugar, beating constantly. Spread meringue over bottom and sides of well-greased pie pan; make bottom about 1/4-inch thick, sides thicker. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons coconut on top. Bake in 275° oven for 1 hour. Cool.
Filling:
Beat 4 egg yolks slightly in double boiler, stir in 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, rind and salt. Cook, stirring over boiling water until thick (about 8 minutes). Cool, add 1 cup whipped cream to custard. Pour into cooked shell. Spread on rest of whipped cream (unsweetened); sprinkle on 1 tablespoon toasted coconut. Chill at least 12 hours.
