Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup, plus 2 tbsp for topping unsweetened shredded coconut
- 5 tbsp, melted unsalted butter
- 8 oz, softened cream cheese
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup fresh mango puree
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup, cold heavy cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 5 tbsp melted unsalted butter; mix until crumbs are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8 minutes until golden and fragrant; remove and cool completely.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Step 4: Add 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup fresh mango puree, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract; beat until fully combined and creamy.
- Step 5: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 6: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until fully incorporated.
- Step 7: Pour the mango filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Step 8: Toast 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring constantly.
- Step 9: Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set before serving.
