Mango pie?

Question

I have seen some yummy recipes for peach pie, I was wondering if I could use mangoes instead of peaches. Has anyone made mango pie? Do you think it will work? I am not a baker, so any suggestions would be great.

THANK YOU.

Answer 1

Mangoes have a higher acidity rate, so they become more squishy when baked.

Too avoid this..use mangoes that are not completely ripe and proceed with the recipe..

Answer 2

Haha, mango instead of peaches? that's like replacing saffran with salt! what an insult...mango instead of peaches, pfft, you od to be ashamed!

Answer 3

MANGO-CHERRY PIE

1 c. pitted tart red cherries

2 c. sliced ripe mango

3/4 c. sugar

1/4 c. flour

2 tbsp. butter

4 drops almond extract

Red food coloring (opt.)

Pastry for 9" lattice top pie

Drain cherries reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Combine sugar and flour; stir in cherry juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick. Add fruits, butter, almond extract and a few drops red food coloring, if desired. Let stand while preparing pastry.

Line 9" pie plate with pastry. Fill. Moisten edge; top with lattice crust, flute edges. Bake in a very hot oven, 425 degrees, for 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until bubbly in the center.

This recipe was originally a peach-cherry pie recipe that I adapted to use with mangoes. Mangoes can be substituted in place of peaches in many recipes very nicely.

Answer 4

I love mangoes so it sounds like a very tasty idea!

Answer 5

Yes, definitely. But make sure youuse very ripe mangoes or canned mangoes.

Here in the Philippines, we make mango tarts, pies, cakes, and a real yummy mango cheesecake.

Answer 6

Hey "I'm out of wine",

The mango is called the king of fruits! I'd say peaches are the queen, but that honor officially goes to the mangosteen.
