Mango Pie with Chile Lime Crust

CRUST INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (I use store bought crumbs, but you can crush your own).

  • 5 Tbsp melted butter

  • 2 tsp chile lime seasoning (the most popular brand is Tajin and can be found in the Latin section of the grocery store)

  • zest of 1 lime

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

FILLING INGREDIENTS

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 3/4 cup mango puree (you can find this in the mixer section of a liquor store like Total Wine and More or online).

  • 1 large mango, peeled

  • 2 Tbsp lime juice 

  • 14 oz can sweetened-condensed milk

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees 

  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, lime zest, chile lime seasoning and cayenne pepper.

  3. Press mixture into a pie pan.  Use a measuring cup to get a nice flat bottom and pressed sides. 

  4. Bake crust until set and golden. About 10 minutes. Remove from oven to cool.

  5. Blend mango, lime juice and mango puree together in a food processor or blender.

  6. Using a hand mixer, beat egg yolks until they lighten in color. About 3 minutes.

  7. Beat in in condensed milk for another 2 minutes.

  8. Stir in mango mixture.

  9. Pour mixture into graham crack crust.

  10. Bake for 30 minutes or until set. If you shake the pan, the filling should wobble a bit, but remain firm. 

  11. Let cool and refrigerate over night or for at least 2 hours.
