Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5.5 oz unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 25 oz ripe yellow mango flesh, cubed
- 4.5 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (optional)
For Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Thin mango slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a rich golden brown. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Pour the melted butter into the graham cracker crumbs and mix well.
- Press ⅔ of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie plate, forming an even crust.
- Place the crust in the freezer to firm up while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the Mango Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream.
- Using a hand mixer on medium-low speed, whip the mixture until thickened and soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- In a separate bowl, mash the mango cubes with a fork or blend them into a smooth puree.
- Add the lime juice to the mango puree for a slight tangy contrast.
- Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream mixture until fully combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Remove the crust from the freezer and spread half of the mango cream mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle half of the remaining crumbs over the filling.
- Add another layer of the mango cream mixture, followed by the remaining crumbs.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
- Remove the pie from the freezer 1 hour before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
- Garnish with whipped cream, thin mango slices, and mint leaves for a fresh, elegant touch.
- Slice and serve chilled for a creamy, tropical delight.
