Toast the coconut in the oven until golden. In a small saucepan, bring milk to boil. Beat egg and sugar until the mixture whitens. Add the flour and mix. Pour half the hot milk mixture on the eggs and sugar, mix well and put back to cook in the pan for 3 minutes after the first boil, whisking constantly. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap, cover with plastic wrap and chill.Whip the cream using a whisk until soft peaks form. Whisk the cooled custard to smooth it. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the custard, then fold in the remaining custard with the coconut using a spatula.
