Easter, Spring, fresh fruit and defenses against it . . .
Anyway.
I decided to try making this, having thought it through.
Mango Pudding Pie
Crust:
20 pecan shortbread cookies
5 tbsp. melted butter
Combine the two; press into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan / pie plate / tart pan. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Mango Pudding:
1/2 cup hot (nearly boiling) water
1 1/2 packets unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar (a little more to taste, about 2-3 tbsps)
pinch salt
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup mango puree (about 1 mango)
In a medium bowl, mix the water and gelatin until dissolved; add the sugar and salt, and whisk it until everything's dissolved. Stir in the mango and the coconut milk. Pour into the cooled crust; cover and chill a minimum of two hours
Top with fruit of your choice (I used blueberries, red raspberries, and kiwi fruit). Serve with whipped cream.
VERDICT: Modified in 2026, adding a half-packet of gelatin and a little more sugar.

I can't have the mangoes (don't need to spend the night in the ER) and probably shouldn't have all the sugar. looks like drool fuel, anyway. I did eat a small spice cake cupcake last night because it came with the fish &chips baked potato. So worth it, and my glucose wasn't particularly high this morning (it's a fruit, dammit!).
