Soften gelatin in cold water, and set aside.

Combine ½ C sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan; gradually add milk, stirring until blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin and flavorings. Cool.

Beat egg whites (at room temperature) and cream of tartar until foamy; gradually add ¼ C sugar, 1 T at a time, beating until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites, whipped cream, and 1 C coconut into gelatin mixture; pour into crust. Sprinkle with additional coconut, if desired. Chill until set. Garnish with candied cherries.
