Directions
Brown Sugar Crust Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
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 (just a few seconds). Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell and bake at 350 degrees F for 12 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 coconut cream and coconut flavor 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.

I just used the recipe for the coconut meringue to use on another recipe. I ran into a similar problem where after adding the coconut cream the meringue just got way too runny. Besides that I can't really speak much about the remainder of the recipe.

For the time to prepare this recipe, I found the results and taste very disappointing. The crust and merinque were good, but the filling was not up to my expectations. It did not have good flavor and was very grainy feeling in the mouth, very dry. Will not make it again.

I know this didn't win the challenge but it sure won the hearts of the folks I work with. It ws gone 20 minutes after I left it out by the expresso machine (I caught one employee going back 3 times. The only thing I wish I would have done differently is to double the recipe so that the crust and the filling would completely fill my high sided spring form pan.
