Why We Love This Mango Recipe

Mango Pie is a simple and vibrant dessert popular in Central and South American countries. And once you get a taste you’ll see why it’s such a beloved treat! Our version consists of a simple graham cracker crust filled with fresh mango custard. It has a delightful balance of tastes and textures… Buttery, crunchy, fruity, and creamy. This is a great pie to serve any time of year when mangoes are ripe* and juicy! We especially enjoy a cool, sweet, and satisfying slice on a hot summer day. And don’t forget a generous dollop of whipped cream! *Pro Tip: It’s important to note that this pie recipe tastes best when made with fresh ripe mangoes. However, you can certainly use frozen thawed mangoes, canned mangoes, and even mango purée.

How to Make Mango Pie

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a food processor. Place the graham crackers in the bowl of the food processor. Grind them into fine crumbs. Then add in the melted butter and sugar. Pulse until the mixture comes together. Do not over mix or you’ll wind up with a dough, when what you want is more like a similar wet sand texture. Next, set out a 9-inch pie plate. Dump the graham cracker mixture into the pie pan. Then use a drinking glass to press the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the bottom and the sides of the pan. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the custard. To make the mango custard: Rinse out the bowl of the food processor. Then add in fresh diced mango, sweetened condensed milk, three large eggs + 2 additional egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Purée until very smooth, and pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Note: The custard will all fit in a medium to deep dish 9-inch pie pan. However, if your dish is shallow you may not be able to use it all. Fill the pie up to a ¼ inch short of the rim. Place the mango pie in the center rack of the oven, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the pie is puffed and the center is just barely jiggly. Cool the pie on the counter to room temperature. Then move to the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Serving Suggestions

Once the custard is cold and fully set, cut and serve. To garnish, I suggest piping fresh whipped cream around the top of the pie. Some fresh mango slices look lovely, too! Alternatively, you can garnish each slice individually as you serve. Want a truly sweet-tastic dessert? Add a scoop of classic Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!
