2. Heavy Cream – ½ Pint
3. Philadelphia Cream Cheese - 1 Packet (8 oz)
4. Mango Pulp – 1 can (available in Indian store. If the pulp is less sweetened, you may have to add sugar. So check before you start.)
5. Sugar (if extra sugar needs to be added and/or if the mango pulp is unsweetened)– 1 cup
6. Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
7. Cardamom Powder – 4-5 pinches
8. Water – 1/2 cup
9. Graham Pie Crust – 2
Method
2. Dissolve gelatin in warm water completely and add to the heavy cream.
3. In a blender mix together the above mixture with mango pulp, cream cheese, vanilla essence and cardamom powder and blend it smoothly.
4. Pour this to the graham piecrust.
5. Refrigerate overnight or at least 7 hours.

Just a suggestion and I am sure you guys know this, the graham crust for the pie can easily be made at home with crushed graham crackers, sugar and butter. It tastes a LOT better than the store bought ones and its easy too :) I havent made a pie like this, but Ive made a mango cheesecake with the same crust, mango pulp, cream cheese and ricotta. Love it!
Thanks for the suggestion Manju...We didnt know this..Will surely try it next time..
Great recipe- could you mention the quantity of the mango pulp you used, what si the measurement of 1 can fo the pulp you got from Indian store? Thanks a lot.

Can you suggest me something instead of gelatin?
Thanks.
Mona,
I guess you could substitute it with agar agar..It is also known as china grass and is a vegetarian substitute for gelatin..Hope this helps..Good luck!
What quantity of china grass do you suggest I use instead?
Mona,
I guess agar agar powder can be substituted for an equal qty of gelatin but I am not very sure..Sorry about that..
Tried it , and sure it was a hit..! so yummy and so simple..!!! Looking forward to more of such simple desserts..:-) Thanks again..
Thanks a lot Julie :) Will surely post more of such recipes..

Lovely recipe. Just wondered if the mango pie needs to be kept in freezer (it didn't set well for me when I kept it in the regular chilling compartment). If so, how long will it keep before it becomes over-frozen?
