For a richer flavor, use browned butter. To brown the butter, cook it in the saucepan over medium heat until the milk solids turn golden brown and it has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. If you want a stronger coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden before adding them to the saucepan. Feel free to experiment with different nuts instead of coconut. Chopped pecans or walnuts would also be delicious. The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
