LIME & COCONUT CREAM PIE
My custard pie features two tropical flavors I love. Plus, it's a breeze to make. I throw most of the ingredients in the blender to whip up the filling, then pour it into a purchased crust. -Mandy Rivers, Lexington, South Carolina

LIME-COCONUT CREAM-PIE JARS
These individual cream "pies" get their silkiness from coconut milk and a zesty lift from limes. They're also fun to make, especially if you have kids who love spooning stuff into containers. Bake the graham-cracker crust and divide it into mini jars, add a tier of custard and another of whipped cream, and finish with toasted coconut flakes and more zest.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spread coconut flakes in an even layer on another rimmed baking sheet.
- Place both sheets in oven; bake until coconut is golden, 8 to 10 minutes; and graham-cracker mixture is darker-golden and fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. Let coconut cool completely (it can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week). Divide graham-cracker mixture evenly among six 8-ounce glass jars or glasses; gently press to create an even layer (a metal ice cream scoop is great for this). Transfer to refrigerator.
- Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Add egg yolks; whisk to combine. Whisk in coconut milk and half and half; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 4 minutes. Continue to boil, whisking constantly, 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in lime zest and juice and sweetened coconut. Add butter; whisk until melted.
- Transfer pudding to a large heat-proof liquid measure with a spout; let cool about 10 minutes. Divide pudding among jars, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of each (to stop skins from forming), and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 1/2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Whisk cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop mixture on top of puddings and refrigerate, uncovered, up to 1 hour, or serve immediately, topped with toasted coconut and more lime zest.
LIME IN THE COCONUT PIE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove crust from freezer and let thaw for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a bowl, whisk together lime zest, egg yolks, condensed milk, lime juice and rum. Mix well. It may look like it's starting to separate but mix it well and it will come together. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the coconut flakes on the bottom of the crust then pour the mixture into the crust and top with the rest of the coconut.
- Bake until the center is set, but still jiggles a bit when the pan is nudged, about 20 to 25 minutes. When baked, cool the pie completely on a wire rack. (At this point the pie can be chilled up to a day ahead and topped when you're ready to serve.)
- For the topping, beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Spread cream over cooled pie; garnish with lime slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine the cream of coconut, lime juice and half of the zest in a blender and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
- Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and very thin. Dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle over the frozen pie. Sprinkle the remaining zest on top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until the chocolate sets, then slice and serve.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until smooth and thick and the beaters leave a ribbon when lifted out of the bowl, 3-4 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, fold in the key lime juice and ½ teaspoon key lime zest until just combined.
- Place the jars on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 scant tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar. Reserve the remaining crumbs. Press down firmly on the crumbs in the jars to form a packed, even layer.
- Divide the filling evenly between the jars, about ¼ cup (25 G) per jar. Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- In a medium bowl, whip the remaining ⅓ cup (80 ML) heavy cream and the powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- When ready to serve, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream, the remaining cookie crumbs, and the remaining ½ teaspoon lime zest. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
1. Ensure your cream cheese and coconut cream are at room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend smoothly and create a creamy filling. 2. When zesting the limes, use a microplane grater for the finest zest. This will provide the most intense lime flavor. 3. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the tops of the meringue by placing the jars under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. 4. Garnish the jars with additional lime zest, toasted coconut, or whipped cream for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.Conclusion:
