Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and half of the toasted coconut until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
-
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
-
In a blender or food processor, puree ripe mango flesh until smooth.
-
In a saucepan, combine mango puree, coconut milk/cream, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
-
Stir in the remaining toasted coconut into the mango mixture.
-
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
-
For the coulis, simmer remaining mango puree with a little sugar and lemon juice until thickened, then strain if desired.
-
Drizzle coulis over slices before serving.
