For the Filling
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and pureed
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
For the Crust
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the pureed mangoes, coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the cornstarch is well dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Cook the filling: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble gently. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat once thickened.
- Pour into crust: Allow the filling to cool slightly for a few minutes, then pour the thickened filling evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top.
- Chill until firm: Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the pie and serve as a refreshing tropical dessert. Optionally, garnish with fresh mango slices or toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch.
Notes
- Use ripe, fragrant mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Full-fat coconut milk gives a richer and creamier filling; light coconut milk can be used for a lighter pie.
- If you prefer a homemade crust, a buttery shortcrust or graham cracker crust both complement this pie well.
- Ensure to whisk the filling continuously while cooking to avoid lumps and prevent burning.
- This pie needs sufficient chilling time to properly set due to the no-bake technique used.
