Blow-Your-Mind Coconut-Mango Pie

For several years, this pie has won my friend's very competitive family pie-making contest. I shared the recipe with her a few years back and now it holds its place as the best pie she has ever made! Crust keeps up to 1 day at room temperature, loosely covered with foil. Pie keeps up to 2 days, covered and chilled.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 4 large eggs, separated, divided
• ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ¾ cup mango puree
• 6 ½ ounces graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Pulse graham crackers, 1/2 cup coconut, and powdered sugar for crust together in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter; blend until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch metal pie pan. Crust will be generous.

Step 4

Beat egg yolks in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until thick and light in color, about 4 minutes. Beat in sweetened condensed milk, 2 minutes more. Stir in mango puree and lime juice. Pour mixture into crust.

Step 5

Bake until just set in center when gently shaken, about 30 minutes. Cool pie completely and chill at least 2 hours.

Step 6

To make topping, beat together egg whites, white sugar, and salt in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. When sugar dissolves and mixture is hot to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes, remove from heat. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a piping bag with a large open tip or a zip-top plastic bag with 1/2 inch of a corner snipped off. Pipe onto chilled pie.

Step 7

Set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low heat.

Step 8

Broil pie in the preheated oven just until top is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Sprinkle with coconut.
