No-Bake Mango Pie

Published: Feb 17, 2009 · Updated: Aug 27, 2019 by Mely Martínez

JUMP TO RECIPE

This No-bake Mango pie one of my husband’s favorite “postres”. It is a typical dessert from Ciudad Mante, in the Northern State of Tamaulipas. If you drive south from Ciudad Victoria, the state’s capital, Ciudad Mante is located in a tropical strip which provides the ideal climate to grow mango trees. Locals farmers sell mango pie, mango ice cream, mango juice and mango preserves to travelers who stop for a short break to enjoy these delicious mango-made products along the road.

This recipe has been adapted from the magazine, “Mexico Desconocido, in their edition Spring 2004/ Tamaulipas”.

The mangoes we use in México for this dessert are “Manila Mangos”, which are a medium-size sweet mango. Manila Mango is hard to find in this area, and more so in the winter time. I had found “Ataulfo Mango” in the summer months at the local Asian markets where they are sold by the case.

To make this pie I used canned mangos, not my favorite thing to do. I was hoping the mangos will be manila mangos as it shows in the picture on the label of the can, but to my disappointment, they were not. Anyway, it turned out really good and very easy to do.

    I have family in Ciudad Mante from my father's side and every time I go for the holidays or summer vacation, it is the one thing I always eat at my aunt's house before I leave and makes a whole pie for my trip back to Georgia, which is never easy for a pie in a cooler traveling over 1,400 miles. However, I never asked her for the recipe and now that I have this saved on my computer, I can make mango pies for my friends and family here in the United States.

    I tried this postre as I had it when I was a child; my grandma was so kind to make it for us. It’s a little piece of a home I left too young; this pie me conecta con Cd Mante and my abuelita. Now it’s my Holliday/special occasion tradition and my family loves it. ¡Gracias Mely!

    I am soexcited to find this recipe! I went to Ciudad Mante several years ago with my church group and have been craving this pie ever since! I had no idea it was "famous" and never imagined I could find the recipe. I'm buying mangoes right now to try and recreate it!

    I have made this a few times with a different crust since I don't like the crackers or cookies and also using agar agar because I don't use grenetina at all.

    Hello!
    I made the pie again and this time I was able to use the Ataulfo variety and it made a huge difference all around, in texture, flavor, color, and firmness! Very happy with the results. We don’t get Ataulfos here til mid April but it is definitely worth the wait!

    Hello
    This is my favorite pie and I was so excited to find the authentic recipe here as it has been a while since I traveled to Cd. Mante! Thank you 🙂
    The several times I have made it turned out great and oh so tasty, however it doesn’t seem as firm as what I remember getting at La Morita. Do you think an extra packet of gelatin would firm it up a bit?

    PS Love your blog! I have been reading it and using your recipes for several years now.

      Hello BZ,
      Yes, if you want it a little bit solid add another package of gelatine.

        I really love this recipe. We have wonderfully sweet Irwin mangoes from the tree in our yard. This recipe is super easy and delicious.
