Ingredients
  

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)

Equipment

  • pie plates

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Place the pie crusts into 9-inch pie plates and style the edges as desired.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time and whisk until fully blended. Gradually whisk in melted butter until smooth.
  4. Fold in the hazelnuts, drained mango chunks, and shredded coconut until evenly mixed.
  5. Spread the filling equally between the two pie crusts.
  6. 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.
  7. Allow pies to cool completely on a rack before serving.
  8. Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream before serving for extra indulgence.
