Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 4 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while stirring with a fork. Mix until the dough comes together.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough into the pie dish, pressing it lightly against the sides and bottom. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced mangoes, sugar, cornstarch, lime juice, and salt. Toss until the mangoes are evenly coated.
  7. Pour the mango mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  11. Serve the mango pie chilled and topped with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
