A mango sunrise

May 4, 2021

A mango sunrise Starting the Mother’s Day month with a post dedicated to my birth land, India. In better times, this would be the season where all of India would be savoring the sweet taste of mangoes; instead She is bleeding. Just like the golden natural light that hits this beautiful mango pie in the first picture, I’m wishing upon rays of hope for India. As like any person of Indian roots living in the US, the mango pie is a must make for me every Spring/Summer. This is a recipe that has exchanged many hands and made in many ways. I got my recipe from my first friend and neighbor in America. Ever since I’ve made it every year and over time tweaked it to my taste. Note: I recommend using Kesar Mango over Alphonso Mango. Alphonso can become overwhelming while Kesar has a delicate taste and a beautiful color. 2 @honeymaidsnacks ready Graham Cracker crusts 1 30oz can of @deepindiankitchen Kesar Mango pulp 1 8oz @lovemyphilly cream cheese 1 500 ml tub of @myfoodandfamily Cool Whip 3/4 cup sugar 3 packets gelatin (.25 oz each) 1 cup water - Blend together pulp, cream cheese, cool whip, sugar. - Bloom gelatin in 1/2 cup water. Boil the other half cup. Once gelatin is bloomed, pour in boiled water and stir until gelatin dissolves. - Pour gelatin mix into mango mix and blend till well mixed. - Pour the mango mix into the 2 crusts evenly and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. - Top with fresh mango slices and some raspberries for an added punch of color. Keep the toppings simple. Don’t overcrowd and let the mango be the star! Made these plated expression pies for the boys at their poker night and they were polished clean! Make it. Share it.
