This recipe is for two pies. If you want to make just one, cut down the ingredients to half.

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
1. Heat heavy cream in a pan(max 4 mts in low heat).
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!
Hi super chef
Can u please give me the recipe ?
How much ricotta cheese néed ?
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.
Anonymous,

Thanks a lot..!
btw, I was the one who was “anonymous”- 🙂 there were some issues, and could not add my name- it worked this time..:-)
Julie,
Thanks for visiting our blog..I was wondering about the “anonymous”! Please keep visiting..
Bookmarked!
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?
hi maya…

mira
You can use whipping cream..
Hi
Thanks for the nice recipe.. I want to try this
Can u tell me how much heavy cream did you used?
8 oz (1 cup)
I bought the gelatine in your picture for this recipe. One packet has 4 envelopes, each of 0.25 oz. Is your measurement in recipe ingredients is a mistake ? ( 10 oz instead of 1 oz). Please do confirm.
I am a big fan of your site. I have tried making almost all recipes in here.. And everything I made was always a huge hit. Thanks for inspiring newbies like us to cooking 🙂
Yeah that was a mistake, chinu. Thanks a lot for letting me know, I will correct the recipe soon..Great to know that you enjoy the recipes posted here..Hope you enjoy this recipe too!
This mango pie is dangerously delicious because it is way too easy to make! My family, including young grandchildren, requests this pie anytime I ask what they would like to have. My childhood was spent in India so perhaps my passion for mangoes is in their DNA. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
You’re welcome! 🙂 Really happy to hear that the whole family is enjoying it..
