1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup ripe mangoes, pureed

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool.
In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, mango puree, and lime zest until combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Bake the pie for 15-20 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and spread it over the top of the pie.

How can I make the crust gluten-free?
You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free cookies or crumbs, which are widely available.

Can I skip baking the pie?
While baking helps set the filling, you can try refrigerating it after pouring the filling in the crust. Just keep in mind it may not hold its shape as well as a baked pie.
