Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

For crust
35 vanilla wafer cookies (about 5 ounces)
1/3 cup dry-roasted macadamia nuts (about 2 ounces)
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For filling
1 15-ounce can cream of coconut (such as Coco López)*
2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
3 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 lime, thinly sliced into rounds
Additional powdered sugar
*Available in the liquor department of most supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind cookies and nuts in processor. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in coconut. Add butter and stir until blended. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter metal or glass pie dish. Cover and freeze 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.) Bake until crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Make filling:
  • Whisk first 4 ingredients in 4-cup measuring cup or large bowl to blend.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons cold water into small metal bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Set bowl in small saucepan of barely simmering water; whisk until gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. Whisk into coconut mixture. Pour into crust (filling will reach top of crust). Chill until set, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • Beat cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Transfer to pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe around edge of pie. Dip lime rounds into additional powdered sugar. Garnish pie with lime.

I was a bit disappointed with this pie. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny. I think I might have overmixed the crust dough and overcooked the filling. I will definitely try this recipe again, but I will be more careful next time.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy. I think next time I would use less lime juice in the filling.
