In medium bowl stir together all dry pie crust ingredients. In small sauce pan heat butter till light brown, then pour into crust mixture and stir together. Press into a tart tin and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min. In a large bowl combine cream cheese, hazelnut spread and 1/4 cup sugar until well blended. Add egg and 1/4 cup toasted coconut and beat until blended. Pour into pie crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool on wire rack. Once pie has cooled beat the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar on high until medium peaks form. spread onto pie and sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut and chocolate curls. Voila!
