directions

  • BROWN SUGAR CRUST PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar and salt. With a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mix is crumbly. Press dough firmly into bottom and sides of pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
  • MANGO KEY LIME FILLING PREPARATION: Using an electric mixer, combine egg yolks, condensed milk and cornstarch.
  • Slowly add in lime juice, then mango puree and lime zest. Continue to mix until blended for just a few seconds.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell and bake at 350ºF. for about 15-20 minutes, or until filling is set.
  • Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Do not turn oven off.
  • COCONUT MERINGUE PREPARATION: Beat egg whites until light and frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until the whites form stiff peaks.
  • Gradually beat in sugar, then add cream of coconut and mix for several more seconds.
  • Carefully spoon meringue onto warm pie. Return pie to oven to brown meringue (about 6 to 7 minutes).
  • Remove pie from oven and refrigerate until chilled. Can garnish pie with toasted coconut if you like.
  • NOTE: To make *mango purée, peel and remove the pit of two ripe mangos, cut into pieces and place them in a blender or food processor with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tablespoons sugar, (for sweetness if you like).
  • Blend until smooth. It keeps covered and chilled for 3 days (or frozen in a container).
  • Another option is to make the coconut-key lime pie omitting the mango, and just with the lime and coconut flavors combined is excellent, too.
