Mango Key Lime Pie With Coconut Meringue Food

MANGO LIME TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In the bowl of a food processor, or in a medium mixing bowl, pulse or stir together the cookie crumbs, butter, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and salt until completely combined. Press the mixture into a 9" tart pan so that it covers the bottom and the sides completely. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and baking sheet and cool on a rack until ready to use.
• Add the mango chunks and lime juice to a blender and puree until very smooth. Add the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and pulse a few times to combine. With blender running, steadily stream in the sweetened condensed milk until all is combined. Pour the mixture into the cooled tart shell and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until center is set. Allow to come to room temperature on a rack, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
• While tart is chilling, in a small bowl, whisk the cream of coconut with 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream until the cream of coconut is dissolved. Add the coconut mixture and the remaining heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer, set with the whisk attachment. Whip until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, remove the tart from the pan and top with the coconut whipped cream. Slice and serve.

MANGO MERINGUE PIE WITH CANDIED CHILES

Steps:

• Make the topping: Combine 1 cup sugar, the lime zest, lime juice and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the jalapeno slices, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the jalapeno cool in the syrup, at least 1 hour.
• Strain the jalapeno; reserve the syrup. Spread 1/2 cup sugar on a small plate. One at a time, toss half of the jalapeno slices in the sugar until lightly coated. (Set the remaining jalapeno slices aside.) Let the sugared jalapeno slices dry until hardened, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 unsugared jalapeno slices in a food processor until ground. Add the cookie crumbs and butter and pulse to combine. Press into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Combine the orange juice and gelatin in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Puree the mangoes in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the reserved jalapeno syrup, the vanilla and 1 teaspoon salt and puree until smooth. Microwave the juice-gelatin mixture until just hot and liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir to make sure the gelatin is dissolved, then add to the mango mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. Strain the mango mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then pour into the cooled crust. Press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Make the meringue: Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cream of tartar, egg whites and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites are hot to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the water and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and stiff peaks just form, about 2 minutes.
• Finely chop the remaining unsugared jalapeno slices and combine with a large spoonful of the meringue in a small bowl. Add to the remaining meringue and whisk to combine. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe the meringue on top of the pie to make a dome with spiky peaks. Lightly brown the meringue with a kitchen torch and top with the reserved sugared jalapeno slices.

FLORIDA PIE

Steps:

• Getting Ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.
• Put the cream and 1 cup of the coconut in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the cream is reduced by half and the mixture is slightly thickened. Scrape the coconut cream into a bowl and set it aside while you prepare the lime filling.
• Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on high speed until thick and pale. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the condensed milk. Still on low, add half of the lime juice. When it is incorporated, add the remaining juice, again mixing until it is blended. Spread the coconut cream in the bottom of the graham cracker crust, and pour over the lime filling.
• Bake the pie for 12 minutes. Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes, then freeze the pie for at least 1 hour.
• To finish the pie with meringue: Preheat the broiler. Put the 4 egg whites and the sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking all the while, until the whites are hot to the touch. Transfer the whites to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or use a hand mixer in a large bowl, and beat the whites at high speed until they reach room temperature and hold firm peaks. Using a rubber spatula, fold the remaining ½ cup coconut into the meringue. Spread the meringue over the top of the pie, and run the pie under the broiler until the top of the meringue is golden brown. (Or, if you've got a blowtorch, you can use it to brown the meringue.) Return the pie to the freezer for another 30 minutes or for up to 3 hours before serving.
