When a neighbor gave me 4 buckets of mangoes from his mango tree, he hinted that I try making a mango pie. I was hesitant because why cook and ruin a perfectly delicious sweet mango? Then I found this recipe! Everybody loved it and it exceeded my expectations. I used a Trader Joe's pie crust, less turbinado sugar for the filling the raw mangoes will be suspended in and served it with a bit of whipped cream and organic unsweetened flake coconut and it was divine ! I am making 2 more pies as we speak!

Loved this. Very easy and quick. I did it in tart shells. Made it easy to share.

I've made 4 of these pies now and they have been a hit. I made only one change, I used reg. butter and omitted the salt and you can't tell. Dark rum, fantastic! Soft ripe mango's work best and have best flavor, but the slightly crisper ones had their own fabulousnessness. Thanks for posting

I deviated from your recipe a bit based on what I had on hand. I did half mango, half papaya; used crescent roll dough for crust and rum extract (as we're not drinkers) and it turned out so delicious! Rave reviews from husband & I both.

The pie turned out good but a little sweeter than I would like. The pie crust went well with the fruit. I like finding another way to enjoy mangos.
