In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to forget that life is a journey meant to be savoured. We rush through moments, constantly looking ahead to the next big thing, often missing out on the simple joys that make life beautiful.
Today, I invite you on a journey of reflection and indulgence as we explore the profound wisdom hidden within a seemingly humble recipe – the mango pie.
The Promise of a Mango
Mangoes, often called the “king of fruits,” carry a promise within them. They start as unassuming seeds, undergo a transformation, and eventually become the embodiment of sweetness. Much like life itself, the mango’s journey is one of growth and transformation.
In our recipe, the mango represents the potential within each of us, the promise of something beautiful that can emerge from the humblest beginnings.

Preparing the Foundation
The mango pie recipe begins with a firm and supportive foundation – the crust. Life, too, requires a solid foundation. We build our lives on values, principles, and experiences that shape us. Just as the pie crust provides structure, our foundations provide stability.
The Heat of Challenges
Baking the pie requires subjecting it to intense heat. Similarly, life often tests us with challenges that push our limits. But it’s during these moments of trial that we discover our true strength and resilience. We learn that adversity is not an obstacle but a stepping stone to personal growth.
Layers of Experience
As we assemble the mango pie, we create layers of flavour and texture. Each layer contributes to the complexity and depth of the final product. In life, our experiences, whether sweet or bitter, contribute to our uniqueness.
We are the sum of our experiences, and each layer adds richness to our story.
Savouring Each Moment
In our busy lives, we often rush through experiences, forgetting to savour the moment. But just as you would savour each bite of a delicious mango pie, it’s crucial to cherish life’s moments – big or small.
Take time to appreciate the beauty around you, the laughter of loved ones, and the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Sharing the Sweetness
Mango pie is meant to be shared. It’s a joy to see others delight in its taste. Similarly, life’s sweetness is amplified when shared with those we love. Sharing our experiences, our triumphs, and even our challenges can bring people closer together and create lasting memories.
Mango Pie Recipe – A Slice of Life’s Sweetness
As we delve into the wisdom of savouring life through mango pie, why not treat yourself to the delicious recipe that inspired this journey? Here’s a simple yet delightful UK English-spelled recipe for Mango Pie:
Mango Pie Recipe - A Slice of Life's Sweetness
Ingredients
- 2 cup Plain flour
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- A pinch of Salt
- 2-3 tablespoon Cold water
- 3 pcs Ripe Mangoes (peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
- Whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Instructions
For the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, a pinch of salt, and the unsalted butter. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
For the Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine the sliced mangoes, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture thickens and the mangoes become soft and caramelised. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavour if desired.
Assembling the Pie:
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Place it in the dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the mango filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- You can use the remaining dough to create a lattice or another decorative pattern on top of the pie.
Baking:
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Serving:
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Enjoy your homemade Mango Pie while reflecting on the sweetness of life’s moments!
Remember, just like savouring this pie, take the time to relish the flavours and moments that make life extraordinary.
Share this delightful dessert with loved ones, and you’ll find that life’s sweetness is truly meant to be shared.
