Oh My! The Ambrosial Mango Pie !

Makes 1 ( 10 inch pie)

This delicate, fluffy, velvety, nectarous mango pie will simply blow you over! It sure was an exciting experiment for me to put together this recipe the first time I made it, a couple of years ago. Now this exquisite pie has become my ‘go to’, ‘goof proof’, and ‘crowd pleaser’ dessert recipe for the summer!

Mango is called the king of fruit in India. This pie will tell you why! I use the canned mango pulp from India because in mind there is no substitute for the divine taste of the Alphonso or the Amrut mangoes. You may use the other type of fresh mangoes. Make sure to add sugar according to your desired sweetness. The cream cheese gives me the satisfaction of eating cheesecake but with an airy mousse like texture!

And as for time….Do you have those times when you feel overwhelmed about the menu you planned and there is a time crunch? Well, this easy breezy Mango pie has always made me look so goodJ And because this recipe can also be made in a jiffy using the readymade crust and whipped topping, while it refrigerates to set, I am free to move on to making the rest of the meal.

So it is an all-around ‘win win’ situation for me with this special dessert. Do let me know how you like this Mango pie. I am sharing with you one of my absolutely favorite desserts, my dear friends!
