This tropical pie requires digestive biscuits, desiccated coconut, butter, mangoes, coconut milk, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, and coconut cream. The layers include a coconut biscuit crust, mango custard filling, and coconut whipped cream topping, garnished with toasted coconut and fresh mango slices.
Learn how to cook Coconut Mango Cream Pie by creating three distinct layers: first, bake a coconut biscuit crust until golden; next, prepare a silky mango custard by tempering eggs with mango and coconut milk; finally, top with homemade coconut whipped cream. The key techniques include proper tempering of eggs and chilling the coconut cream overnight for the perfect whipped topping.
Yes! You can make this pie 1-2 days in advance. The crust and mango filling actually benefit from setting overnight in the refrigerator. For best results, add the coconut whipped topping and garnishes just a few hours before serving to maintain their fresh appearance and texture.
Custard thickening issues typically stem from insufficient cooking time or temperature. Ensure you're cooking the mixture until bubbles appear and it coats the back of a spoon. The cornstarch needs to reach at least 95°C to activate fully. Always whisk constantly to prevent lumps and scorching.
Alphonso or Ataulfo (honey) mangoes are ideal for custard as they have less fibrous flesh and intense, sweet flavour. They provide the smooth texture and vibrant colour needed for a stunning filling. If unavailable, Kent or Tommy Atkins varieties work well too—just ensure they're fully ripe for optimal sweetness.
