Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix condensed milk, lime juice, and mango pulp with 6 ounces of Cool Whip until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared crust.
- Spread the remaining 2 ounces of Cool Whip over the top of the pie.
- Refrigerate until the pie is firm, or freeze and serve frozen if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh mangoes instead of canned pulp. If you want to reduce sweetness, you can substitute some of the condensed milk with Greek yogurt. Make sure to blend the mixture until completely smooth for the best texture. If you're short on time, using a pre-made graham cracker crust will save you effort and time.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the pie and serve it chilled, topped with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of lime zest for added flair. This mango pie pairs beautifully with Mini Fruit Cakes for a delightful dessert platter. For a refreshing drink, serve with iced tea or a fruity smoothie to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer a frozen treat, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and it can be kept in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge before serving if frozen.
