Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. In a nine-inch pie pan, stir together the graham-cracker crumbs, sugar and coconut. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir with a fork to combine. Press the mixture firmly along the bottom and sides of the pan to form a crust. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Place on cooling rack. Mix mango puree, lime juice, condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. The filling wil still be a little bit wiggly in the middle but it will set as the pie is chilling. Place on wire rack until cool enough to put in the fridge. Chill at least eight hours. When you are ready to serve the pie, whip the cream with the vanilla extract and add icing sugar to taste. Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh mangoes and key limes. If you can't find fresh mangoes, you can use frozen mango chunks, but thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before making the filling. This will help it mix smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites when making the meringue. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly.
- To make a graham cracker crust from scratch, simply combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- If you don't have time to make a graham cracker crust from scratch, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the filling set properly.

Mango key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste.
