Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 200 grams of all-purpose flour
• 100 grams of unsalted butter
• 50 grams of powdered sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 large egg

For the filling:

• 3 to 4 ripe mangoes
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 100 grams of powdered sugar

For the meringue topping:

• 4 egg whites
• 200 grams of powdered sugar

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
2. Begin by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, diced butter, powdered sugar, salt, and egg. Knead the ingredients together until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, then carefully transfer it to a floured and buttered pie dish. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
4. Bake the crust for approximately 15 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
5. While the crust is cooling, peel the mangoes, remove the pits, and slice or dice them as desired.
6. In a saucepan, mix together the lemon juice, cornstarch, and powdered sugar. Add the mango slices and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly.
7. Pour the mango filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Next, prepare the meringue topping. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites until the meringue is smooth and glossy.
9. Gently spread the meringue over the mango filling, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the pie.
10. Bake the pie for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden.
11. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
12. Slice and savor each heavenly bite of this Mango Meringue Pie—a delightful combination of mango sweetness and fluffy meringue perfection. Whether enjoyed as a decadent dessert or a show-stopping treat for a special occasion, this pie is sure to impress!
