How to make Mango cream pie
Making a Mango Cream Pie is a delightful way to enjoy the sweet and tropical flavor of mango. Here's a simple recipe for you:
**Ingredients:**
**For the Crust:**
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
**For the Mango Filling:**
- 3 cups ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
**For the Cream Filling:**
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Make the Crust:**
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
3. **Prepare the Mango Filling:**
In a saucepan, combine diced mango, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool.
4. **Assemble the Pie:**
Once both the crust and mango filling are cooled, spread the mango filling evenly over the crust.
5. **Make the Cream Filling:**
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
6. **Top the Pie:**
Spread the whipped cream over the mango filling, covering the entire surface of the pie.
7. **Chill:**
Refrigerate the mango cream pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
8. **Serve:**
Once chilled, slice and serve the delicious Mango Cream Pie. Optionally, you can garnish with additional mango slices or whipped cream.
Enjoy your refreshing Mango Cream Pie!
