      3. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter until combined.

      4. 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

      1. In a large mixing bowl. whisk egg yolks, Melinda's Mango Habanero Hot Sauce, cream cheese sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest.

      2. Pour into warm crust. Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes or until only slightly jiggly in the center. You want it mostly set.

      3. 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.

      4. Be creative and garnish with whipped cream, lime zest, thin lime slices and a habanero pepper.
