Directions
Make the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and macadamia nuts together until they are crumbs. The nut pieces can be a little bigger an that is fine.
Pour into a medium bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter until combined.
Press tightly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from over but leave the oven on 350 to finish the pie.
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl. whisk egg yolks, Melinda's Mango Habanero Hot Sauce, cream cheese sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest.
Pour into warm crust. Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes or until only slightly jiggly in the center. You want it mostly set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and chill for at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before serving.
Be creative and garnish with whipped cream, lime zest, thin lime slices and a habanero pepper.
