Mango and Pineapple Pie with Freeze-Dried Fruit

Mango and Pineapple Pie with Freeze-Dried Fruit

Ingredients

Crust:

1 ½ cups crushed cookies

½ cup melted butter.

2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (optional).

Filling:

1 cup freeze-dried mango, crushed.

1 cup freeze-dried pineapple, crushed.

1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397 g).

1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream.

1 packet unflavored gelatin (7 g).

¼ cup warm water.

½ cup cold water to hydrate the freeze-dried fruit.

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter and coconut sugar.

Press the mixture into a pie pan to form an even crust.

Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes while preparing the filling.

Hydrate the freeze-dried fruit:

Place the crushed mango and pineapple into separate bowls.

Add ¼ cup of cold water to each bowl and let them sit for 5 minutes to hydrate slightly.

To make the filling:

Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in warm water. Let it stand for a few minutes to bloom, then microwave for 10-15 seconds until fully liquefied.

In a large bowl, combine the hydrated mango, pineapple, condensed milk and heavy cream.

Stir in the gelatin mixture and blend until smooth.

Assemble the pie:

Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.

Serve cold and enjoy!

Extra tip:

Freeze-dried fruit provides a concentrated flavor, so there is no need to add sugar.
