LAYERED CANDY CORN PIE

Steps:

• For the cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir the cookie crumbs, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Stir in the butter and continue to mix until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pinched.
• Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake until the crust is set and lightly toasted, 12 to 15 minutes. If the crust puffs while baking, use the bottom of measuring cup to gently press the crust back down while it's still warm. Cool completely.
• For the lemon filling: Once the crust is cool, combine the lemon juice and gelatin in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to let gelatin soften, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the coconut milk, sugar, turmeric and salt to a blender and blend on medium speed until combined. Microwave the juice-gelatin mixture until just hot and liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir to make sure the gelatin is dissolved, then add to the coconut-milk mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into the cooled crust, then refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes.
• For the mango filling: Combine 1/4 cup of the orange juice and the gelatin in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to let gelatin soften, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the mango, raspberries, sugar, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon orange juice to a blender and blend on medium speed until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides of the jar with a rubber spatula as needed. Microwave the juice-gelatin mixture until just hot and liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir to make sure the gelatin is dissolved, then add to the mango mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve directly on top of the set lemon layer, pressing on the solids in the sieve with a rubber spatula to extract as much filling as possible. Spread into a smooth and even layer using an offset spatula, then refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes.
• For the coconut filling: Combine 1/4 cup of the coconut milk and the gelatin in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to let gelatin soften, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk, sugar, coconut extract and salt to a blender and blend on medium speed until combined. Microwave the coconut milk-gelatin mixture until just hot and liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir to make sure the gelatin is dissolved, then add to the coconut mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve directly on top of the set mango layer, then refrigerate until the filling is firmly set and with only the slightest jiggle when moved, at least 2 hours or up to overnight (wrap tightly in plastic wrap).
• For the toasted meringue topping: Combine the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and cornstarch in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Beat in the coconut extract, then transfer to a piping bag fitting with a round pastry tip.
• Pipe 1-inch dollops of meringue on top of the pie, layering upward as you go, until all the meringue is used. Use a small kitchen torch to toast the meringue until deep golden brown. Nestle candy corn throughout the toasted meringue, then cut into wedges to serve.

CANDY CORN

Steps:

• Combine the powdered sugar, dry milk and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 4 to 5 times until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside. Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pot. Put over medium heat, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add the butter, clip on a candy thermometer, and bring the mixture to 230 degrees F, about 1 to 2 minutes. When the sugar syrup reaches 230 degrees F, take the pot off the heat and remove the thermometer. Add the vanilla and the dry mixture, stirring continuously with a silicone spatula until well combined. Pour onto a half sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat. Cool until the mixture is cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Add 2 drops of yellow food coloring to 1 piece and knead the dough until the color is consistent throughout. Add 2 drops of orange to the second piece, and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Leave the third piece white. Roll each piece of dough into a strand, about 18-inches long. Cut each strand in half. Roll 1 of the white pieces into a strand that is about 1/2-inch thick and about 22-inches long. Repeat with a yellow piece and orange piece. Lay the strands side by side and press them together using your fingers. Cut the strand into 4-inch pieces. Lay the strands, 1 at a time, onto the silicone mat and press into a wedge shape, like a triangle. Use a wire butter slicer to cut the candies into pieces. If you don't have a wire butter slicer, use a knife, metal bench scraper or pizza cutter to slice the dough into small pieces. Repeat the procedure with remaining dough. Lay the finished pieces on a piece of parchment or waxed paper to dry for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between each layer.
