I love the tropical flavors of Mango and passion fruit pie! It’s like a vacation in a pie. This recipe is Vegan, gluten-free, soy free, refined sugar-free, plant-based (no processed ingredients), and super yummy!
The crust is made of oat flour and almond flour and the filling is creamy and dense thanks to the coconut cream and fresh mango. I wish I could wake up to a slice of this beauty every single day!

Introduction about Mango and passion fruit pie
Mango and passion fruit pie is a delicious dessert that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of two tropical fruits. Mango, a juicy and sweet fruit, is a rich source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Passion fruit, on the other hand, has a tart and tangy flavor and is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
To make a mango and passion fruit pie, a buttery and flaky pie crust is typically filled with a creamy and smooth mango and passion fruit filling.
The filling is made by blending together fresh mangoes, passion fruit pulp, sugar, cornstarch, and a few other ingredients until it becomes thick and smooth. The mixture is then poured into the prepared pie crust and baked until golden brown.
Mango and passion fruit pie is a refreshing and tropical dessert that is perfect for summer or any occasion. It can be served on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness and creaminess.
Cooking tips
Sure! Here are some cooking tips:
Read the recipe thoroughly before starting: Make sure you understand all the steps and ingredients required before you start cooking.
Prep ingredients before: Get all your ingredients measured, chopped, and ready to go before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process smoother.
