Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• - 2-3 tablespoons ice water
• For the filling:
• - 4 large ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 cup cornstarch
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• - 1/2 cup water
• - 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• For the topping:
• - 1 cup heavy cream
• - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt for the crust. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
6. In a saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, and lemon juice for the filling. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Pour the mango filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
10. While the pie is cooling, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
11. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the cooled pie.
12. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set properly.
13. Slice the fresh mango pie into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy!
