Best Mango Custard Pie Recipes
MANGO PIE
When Hrishikesh Hirway was a kid, his parents, who immigrated to the United States from Maharashtra, in western India, began hosting Thanksgiving. The meal soon evolved into a hybrid of a traditional Thanksgiving and an Indian potluck. "Out of that cultural mash-up, my mom started making this mango pie," he said. She'd gotten the idea from other Indian aunties in the States, but their versions weren't as good. "They weren't making it with the best kind of mango," Hirway explained. "The Alphonsos have a stronger, more intense flavor." That Alphonso flavor shines as brilliantly as the pie's bright filling, made tangy and rich with the addition of cream cheese and whipped cream. And the salty, crumbly graham cracker crust is the perfect foundation for the golden cloud of custard that sits atop it. It's so satisfying that you'll catch yourself cutting sliver after mouthwatering sliver of pie.

Steps:
- Stir crumbs, sugar, cardamom and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter, and stir with a fork until evenly combined.
- Pour half the crumb mixture into a 9-inch round metal pie pan, and spread evenly. Press down with fingers, a metal measuring cup or a second pie pan to compact the crumbs as much as possible across the bottom and up the sides of the pan into an even crust. (The more compressed the crust, the less it will crumble.) Repeat to form the remaining crumb mixture into a crust in a second pan.
- Heat oven to 325. Transfer both crusts to freezer, and chill for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place 3/4 cup cold water in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup sugar with the gelatin; sprinkle mixture evenly over the surface of the cold water. Let sit a few minutes to bloom.
- In the meantime, whip the cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar together until medium-stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 1 cup of the mango purée to body temperature (stir to make sure you are just warming it and not bringing it to a boil). Pour warmed mango purée over gelatin mixture, and whisk until well combined. Gelatin should dissolve into mango completely. Gradually whisk in remaining mango purée.
- Use a rubber spatula to beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until it is soft and smooth, then add to mango mixture along with a large pinch of sea salt. Use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth, tipping the bowl to make sure you've incorporated everything well. Gently tap the bowl on the counter once or twice to pop any air bubbles. Use the spatula to gently fold about 1/4 of the mango mixture into the whipped cream, then fold cream into the larger amount of mixture until no streaks remain.
- Divide custard between cooled crusts. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the filling. Refrigerate 5 hours or overnight until firm and chilled. Serve chilled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Pulse graham crackers, 1/2 cup coconut, and powdered sugar for crust together in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter; blend until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch metal pie pan. Crust will be generous.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Beat egg yolks in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until thick and light in color, about 4 minutes. Beat in sweetened condensed milk, 2 minutes more. Stir in mango puree and lime juice. Pour mixture into crust.
- Bake until just set in center when gently shaken, about 30 minutes. Cool pie completely and chill at least 2 hours.
- To make topping, beat together egg whites, white sugar, and salt in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. When sugar dissolves and mixture is hot to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes, remove from heat. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a piping bag with a large open tip or a zip-top plastic bag with 1/2 inch of a corner snipped off. Pipe onto chilled pie.
- Set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low heat.
- Broil pie in the preheated oven just until top is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Sprinkle with coconut.
