Coconut Lime Pie With Coconut Macadamia Crust


Here's another recipe that takes me back to bequia (although the recipe originally came from bon appetit!)! . freezer time for the crust is not included nor is the chilling time for the pie.

Steps


For the crust: in the bowl of a food processor , combine the vanilla wafers and macadamia nuts.
Process until finely ground.
Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in the coconut.
Add butter and stir until well blended.
Press onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch glass pie pan.
Cover and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350f.
Bake about 20 minutes , or until the crust is golden brown.
Cool thoroughly.
For the filling: in a large bowl , whisk together the first four ingredients.
Pour 3 tablespoons cold water into a small metal bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over.
Let stand 10 minutes , or until the gelatin softens.
Set bowl over a small saucepan of barely simmering water and whisk until gelatin dissolves completely , about 1 minute.
Whisk into the coconut mixture and pour into the crust.
Chill 4 hours or until set.
Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
For the topping: combine the cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
Beat until.
