Mango Cheese Pie ( Eggless Desserts Recipe)
by Tarla Dalal

I’d say this is a perfect dessert for a hot summer day—crunchy and cool, and made with the king of fruits in its peak season! The mango cheese pie features a luscious filling of cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, mangoes and whipped cream on a crunchy biscuit base that combines butter and walnuts.

The liberal use of whipped cream balances the strong flavour of mangoes very well, making it very pleasing to the palate.

With mangoes in season make most the most of it and whip up delectable desserts for your family and friends, like Mango Kulfi , Mango Truffle Cake , Mango Tarts , Mango Ginger Mousse , Mango Souffle and Mango Ice Cream .
