For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both.
The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture.
Ingredients:
2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly
1c organic heavy whipping cream
1 small can condensed milk
1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up)
2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder,
(2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs
Makes 2 pies.
Directions:
1. Arrange mangoes in cooled pie crust (pre baked). Mangoes should fill up pie plate. If mangoes aren't as sweet, then add 1-2T of white sugar and mix.
2. In a big bowl, pour cream and vanilla flavoring, whip until fluffy. Gradually add streams of condensed milk.
3. In a separate cup, mix Knox gelatin into hot water or hot mangoe juice. if there are lumps, use a strainer. Put in refrigerator for 15 minutes until liquid cools enough to mix to the whipped cream.
4. Pour the gelatin mix into whipped cream batter little at a time.
5. Put finished mixture on top of the mangoes. Sprinkle top with graham cracker crumbs and decorate with left over mango slices.
Cover and Refrigerate covered until set.
alternative: used prebaked graham cracker crust. You can also mix the mangoe pieces in whipped cream
