In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter until melted and then stir in the pineapple, coconut, orange zest, lemon juice, orange juice, and coconut extract. Cool to room temperature and stir in the macadamia nuts. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out top crust. Place cooled filling in the crust-lined pie plate and carefully apply the top crust. Crimp edges and make several slits in the top of the crust. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until top is golden. For the coconut chantilly cream: Place coconut on a baking sheet and cook for 5 to 9 minutes, stirring well after every 2 minutes, until coconut is evenly browned. Cool completely. In a medium bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream, sugar, and coconut extract on high speed until soft peaks form. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut. Serve pie slices topped with dollops of the coconut chantilly cream. Garnish top of pie with remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut.
