Julie DeMatteo - Clementon, New Jersey
Bake-Off® Contest 37, 1996 Prize Winner
Julie DeMatteo works in her husband's entertainment production business, so she knows the importance of dramatic presentation. Her creamy lemon-lime pie topped with coconut streusel and garnished with whipped cream and lime slices gets star billing as a special occasion dessert.


   1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (1 crust)
   2 tablespoons coconut
   
   STREUSEL
   1/4 cup all-purpose flour
   1/4 cup sugar
   4 teaspoons margarine or butter
   1/4 cup coconut
   
   FILLING
   1 (2.9 ounce) package lemon pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
   1/2 cup sugar
   3 tablespoons lime juice
   2 eggs yolks
   2 cups water
   1 teaspoon grated limes peel
   1 cup white chocolate chips, vanilla or chopped white baking bar
   1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
   6 tablespoons dairy sour cream
   
   TOPPING AND GARNISH
   1/2 cup whipping cream
   Lime slices, cut into fourths


Heat oven to 450°F. Allow crust pouch to stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pie crust from pouch. Unfold crust. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons coconut; press in lightly. Carefully place crust, coconut side up, in 9-inch pie pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Flute edge; prick crust generously with fork. Bake at 450°F. for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool crust while preparing streusel and filling. Reduce oven temperature to 425°F.

In small bowl, combine flour and 1/4 cup sugar. With pastry blender or fork, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup coconut. Spread mixture in ungreased shallow baking pan. Bake at 425°F. for 4 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring every minute. Set aside.

In medium saucepan, combine pudding mix, 1/2 cup sugar, lime juice and egg yolks; mix well. Stir in 2 cups water. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat; stir in lime peel. In small bowl, combine vanilla chips and 1/2 cup of the hot pudding mixture; stir until chips are melted.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add vanilla chip mixture; beat until smooth. Spoon and spread in baked crust. Stir sour cream into remaining pie filling mixture; blend well. Spoon and spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled.

In small bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon around edge of pie; garnish with lime slices. Sprinkle streusel in center of pie. Store in refrigerator.
