Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat oven to 325ºF. 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 thick. 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.
2. Place mangoes and 1/3 cup of the 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.
3. In another medium saucepan, whisk together remaining 2/3 cup 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.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and 2 tablespoons butter until smooth. Stir in mango mixture until blended. Cool 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Pour filling into crust; refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. 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.
