🧾 Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 package Maria cookies (or graham crackers)

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 1 block cream cheese (~190 g / 6.7 oz), softened

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 cup Ataulfo mango, blended smooth

  • 2 cups diced mango (fresh, for folding in)

  • 1 ½ packets unflavored gelatin (~10.5 g or 1 tbsp)

  • 3 tablespoons water

Topping:

  • 1 cup mango-flavored gelatin, prepared and cooled to room temperature

  • Fresh mango cubes for decoration

  • (Optional) Whipped cream

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  • Crush the Maria cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and pounding with a rolling pin.

  • Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish, creating an even, compact base.

  • Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Bloom the Gelatin

  • Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the 3 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

  • Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Mango Filling

  • In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, plain yogurt, lime juice, and blended Ataulfo mango until smooth and creamy.

  • Add the dissolved gelatin and blend for a few more seconds to incorporate evenly.

Step 4: Add Fresh Mango Cubes

  • Pour the filling into a bowl and gently fold in the diced mango cubes with a spatula to keep the fruit pieces intact.

Step 5: Assemble and Chill

  • Pour the mango filling over the chilled cookie crust, smoothing the top.

  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.

Step 6: Add the Jelly Topping

  • Carefully pour the prepared mango-flavored gelatin (at room temperature) over the set filling, creating an even layer.

  • Return the pie to the fridge and chill for another hour until the jelly is firm.

Step 7: Decorate and Serve

  • Before serving, garnish with fresh mango cubes on top.

  • Add dollops of whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence.
