What can you do with mangos? Make pie!!
I looove mango! It tastes like lounging on a tropical beach with sun on your skin, a hint of salt in the air, and powder-soft sand between your toes.
One summer, while living just outside of Las Vegas in a suburb called, Henderson I started experimenting with meals and treats that would cool us off! I cannot even express how hot the summer was.
Our oldest was just a baby and she and I lived at the pool or hidden in an air conditioned house. This mango dessert quickly became one of our favorite treats to beat the heat!
Why I LOVE this Frozen Mango Pie
I love the contrast between the crunchy crust and the smooth mango texture. I eat mine straight from the freezer, cold and firm, while Cade waits for his to soften which is actually so satisfying too. The kids? They’ll devour it either way.
Mango Cake
A note for clarification.
Originally this recipe was called a frozen mango cake, but I am so bothered by that as it’s truly more of a pie, almost a mango pudding or ice cream pie that I’ve removed that title and changed it to a frozen pie.
Macadamia Nut Pie Crust
This pie swaps the usual graham cracker crust recipe for a macadamia nut crust, giving it that perfect island twist. There’s something so satisfying about the sweet and salty combination!
All you have to do is buy roasted, salted macadamia nuts, or plain but make sure to add salt. Use a blender or food processor to grind them into a powder. I explain how to make it down below.
This recipe originally came from Martha Stewart but I’ve adapted it slightly. Don’t be intimidated, it’s easier than it looks, and the results are absolutely worth it. It is literally the perfect summer mango dessert recipe!
