Blow-Your-Mind Coconut-Mango Pie image

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.

Time 3h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Bake until just set in center when gently shaken, about 30 minutes. Cool pie completely and chill at least 2 hours.
  • 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.
  • Set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low heat.
  • Broil pie in the preheated oven just until top is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Sprinkle with coconut.
