Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Pulse graham cracker sheets, confectioners' sugar, and toasted shredded coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl, add melted butter, and combine until resembling wet sand. Press into a 9-inch pie pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly golden. Allow cooling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 4 minutes until thick and pale. Gradually stir in sweetened condensed milk, pure mango puree, and lime juice until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth it out.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes. The filling should be set with a slight jiggle in the center. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before chilling.
- Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. Prepare for the meringue topping while the pie cools.
- For the meringue, whisk the egg whites, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and whip until glossy and firm peaks form, about 10-12 minutes.
- Dollop or pipe the whipped meringue over the chilled pie. Preheat the broiler and place the pie under it for 2-3 minutes until the meringue is lightly toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle additional toasted coconut on the meringue for garnish. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes
