Strawberry Mango Pie (Gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free)

Isaac brought this recipe home from school in his Spanish workbook with the idea I could "fix" it so it would be allergy free. Sure enough, a few tweaks (and the addition of a layer of strawberry) and we were good to go.

Crust:
1 box Enjoy Life Graham cookies or Sugar cookies (gluten free or regular graham cracker would be fine too)
3 T melted coconut oil
1/8 c sugar

Press into lightly oiled pie pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for 10-15 min or until edges begin to lightly brown.  Cool completely.

1 lb frozen chopped mangos, thawed
1 c chopped strawberries
1 can cream of coconut (find it near drink mixes such as margarita mix, etc.)
1/2 c warm water plus 3T
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin plus 1/2 envelope

Strawberry layer:
Dissolve 1/2 envelope gelatin in 3T warm water.  Blend 4T cream of coconut with strawberries until smooth.  Add gelatin mixture.  Blend until throughly mixed.  Pour into pie shell.  Chill til firm (about 2 hours).

Mango layer:
Dissolve 2 envelopes gelatin in 1/2 warm water.  Combine remaining cream of coconut and mangos in blender and blend til smooth.  Add gelatin mixture and throughly combine.  Pour over strawberry layer. Chill til firm (about 4 hours or overnight).

Serve with cool whip or whipped coconut cream if desired.
