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.

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.

MANGO CHIFFON PIE
Chiffon pies get their fluffy texture from a mixture of gelatin and egg whites. I love the tartness the mango gives the filling and when paired with the graham cracker-toasted coconut crust, it's a dessert that reminds me of being on a tropical island. You're going to love it!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pulse the graham crackers, coconut flakes and salt in a food processor until the crackers are crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the crust into a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a medium heatproof bowl and let soften 5 minutes. Blend the mango, mango nectar and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Add to the softened gelatin with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and all the egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
- Place the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has slightly thickened and cooled, about 30 minutes.
- Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the mango mixture in 3 additions, waiting until each addition is incorporated before adding the next. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- Beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Dollop onto the center of the pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
