Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3.5 cups granulated sugar Use cane sugar for a richer flavor
- 2 cups hazelnuts Roughly chopped
- 2 cups mango chunks Drained
- 2 cups shredded coconut Unsweetened
- 1 cup unsalted butter Melted and slightly cooled
- 9 large eggs At room temperature
- 3 tablespoons cornmeal For a slight crunch
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ready-made pie crusts Or enough dough for two 9-inch pies
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Place the pie crusts into 9-inch pie plates and style the edges as desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, and salt until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time and whisk until fully blended. Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth.
- Fold in the hazelnuts, drained mango chunks, and shredded coconut until evenly mixed.
- Spread the filling equally between the two pie crusts.
- Bake for 60 minutes, then cover with foil to prevent crust from browning too much. Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the center is set.
- Allow pies to cool completely on a rack before serving.
- Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream before serving for extra indulgence.
Notes
Try using tropical fruits like papaya or lychee for a unique twist. Store the pie in the fridge for up to 3 days.
