In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add condensed milk; beat until combined. Add egg yolks, egg, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice; beat until just combined. Stir in 1/3 cup of grated coconut (drained) and 3 tablespoons of heavy syrup. (Reserve remaining grated coconut for later use.) Pour into cooled crust. Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until pie is set. Refrigerate pie 4-5 hours or until well set.
Before topping pie with whipped cream, sprinkle remaining grated coconut (well drained) over top of pie to about 1 inch from the edge.
*Exact amount of lime juice may vary slightly depending on tartness of the lime. Taste to adjust.
