Paleo Mango Pie with Vegan Cream Cheese


This mango cassava-arrowroot flour pie is perfect for the holidays, not too sweet, and an amazing savor. I know that almost you are all used to eating apple or pumpkin pie, but mango is one of my favorite fruits indeed.

 It`s very savory, loaded with protein, resistant starch, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, also is paleo, gluten-free, whole30, and vegan.

To change the original recipe, I made the cassava pie crust of www.ottosnaturals.com that I love, I only added 2 tablespoons more of coconut oil because it helps better the dough comes together, I had 3 fresh mangoes and change the dairy cream cheese for a vegan one with cashew that I did it by myself. You can use dairy cream cheese if you want to or a different vegan cream cheese.

The difference here is that I wanted a thick pie crust, so instead of making it in a normal 9-inch pie dish, I did mine into a 6-inch glass dish, so yummy and crunchy, but it´s up to you if you want to make a flaky crust.

You can make the mango jam and the vegan cheese in advance, or earlier on the same day, only let them at room temperature before filling the pie.

Ingredients for the Vegan Cream Cheese:
  1. 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water for at least 4-5 hours or overnight

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Preparation of the cassava dough and baked pie (paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, refinedsugarfree, vegan, whole30).jpg


In a food processor throw butter with the dry ingredients and pulse until everything is well incorporated and appears coarse crumbs.

Add the whisked egg and pulse again, scraping the sides of the processor.

Then add the water, little by little until the dough it´s not sticky at the touch of your fingers.

Form a ball and put it between 2 parchment papers dusted with arrowroot flour

Roll out until the desired thickness, then transfer to the baking pie dish. It does not matter if the dough is broken, fix it again with your fingers.

Press with your hands or a fork the edges, and poke the bottom with a fork.

Bake it for 10 minutes, then take out the oven and brush the dough with the beaten egg. Put again into the oven and bake for around 10-12 minutes more.

Let it cool until you have finished the mango jam and the vegan cheese.

To make the vegan cream cheese drain the soaked cashews.

Throw them into the food processor with coconut yogurt, water, salt, and lemon juice.

Blend all together until becomes a creamy mixture.

Spread it on the baked pie crust.

The mango jam is very simple, blend the 3 mangoes scrapping the size of your blender until smooths and pureed. 

Pour in a pot with a pinch of salt and let reduce until thick enough.

Stir in honey, lemon juice, and a teaspoon of gelatin.

Let it cool to room temperature.

Pour over the vegan cheese.

Take the pie to the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.

Enjoy!

Note: If you will use a 9-inch pie dish, I recommend more mangoes, about 4-5 will be fine.

For the filled crust:  depends on your filling, bake between 45-60 minutes, then you will need to cover the edges of the pie crust so they don`t burn out.

The pie can be used as a savory one with ground meat, chicken, or anything that you like it, is better if you add the dough-dried spices that you like to match the meat and increase to 1/2 tsp of salt, and if you want 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut sugar, I love the contrast that it makes to the meat.

You can use arrowroot or cassava flour either way to dust.
