In a saucepan combine granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add water, egg yolk, and butter or margarine. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice. Turn into baked shell. Set aside and cool. Top with sliced berries.
In a small mixer bowl beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Fold in 1/3 cup coconut. In another bowl beat whipping cream to soft peaks; fold into cream cheese mixture till combined. Spread atop berries. Sprinkle with the 1/4 cup toasted coconut.
