Directions:Heat oven to 325º. In medium bowl, stir together all crust ingredients until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press evenly into bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie pan, taking care not to make edges too think. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set and edges look dry. (Don't worry if center of crust looks soft and oily after baking; it will crisp as it cools.) Cool on wire rack.
Place mangoes and 1/3 c of sugar in medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil 5 to 7 minutes or until much of the liquid has evaporated and mixture is consistency of soft jam. Stir in tequila; cool on wire rack.
In another medium saucepan, whisk together remaining 2/3 c sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cook 2 minutes or until thickened, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; quickly whisk in egg yolks until blended. Return to heat; bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and 2 T butter until smooth. Stir in mango mixture until blended. Cool 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour filling into crust; refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
In medium bowl, beat all topping ingredients at medium-high speed until firm but not stiff peaks form. Spread topping over pie. Refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator. |
