Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 5.5 oz unsalted butter Room temperature is best for mixing.
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs Honey Maid preferred for sweetness.
For the filling
  • 25 oz very ripe Manila mango flesh The riper, the sweeter!
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Optional, but adds a lovely zest.
  • 4.5 oz sweetened condensed milk Eagle Brand is preferred.
  • 1.5 cups cold whipping cream Use heavy cream for better consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick spray; you may also line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Ensure everything is well mixed.
  3. In a stainless steel pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until it's very dark brown.
  4. Pour the brown butter over the graham cracker crumbs and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
  5. Use about 2/3 of the crust mixture to form the base in the pie plate, pressing down firmly to ensure even coverage. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Filling and Assembly
  1. Slice the cheeks off the mango and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Score and mash the flesh using a fork until chunky but still slightly textured.
  2. Gently stir in lime juice if you’d like a touch of acidity to balance the sweetness.
  3. In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cold whipping cream. Use a hand mixer to beat until firm peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Begin layering your pie with the whipped cream mixture – spoon in a layer of cream, followed by a layer of mango, followed by a layer of graham crumbs. Repeat once more, ending with the cream and finish with crumbs on top.
  5. Cover and freeze overnight or at least for 8 hours for the best results.
Serving
  1. Allow the pie to thaw for 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the fridge before slicing.
  2. Slice and serve, garnishing with additional mango or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Can be prepared a few days ahead of time, just thaw before serving.
