Mango Pie

Jan 23rd is National Pie Day, so @ work there was a pie contest and last minute decision to do this recipe and won the contest too!!! So was happy. Personally, this recipe is not my fav, but would love to try this with fresh ripe sweet mangoes in few months down the lane. Here we go...easy and quick recipe...but need to collect stuff from Safeway or Any american store and Mango Pulp from Indian store.
Ingredients:
* 2 - Ten inch Graham Cracker Crust (baking aisle) or 3- 8 or 9" crusts
* Knox unflavored Gelatin 1 pack - has 4 tiny packs in it (baking aisle) - use only 3 packs
* One 8 Oz Lite whipped Cream (frozen/fridge)
* One 8 Oz Philadelphia Reduced fat Cream Cheese (fridge)
* One Mango Pulp Tin from Indian store (or 3 cups mango puree)
* 1 cup sugar (can reduce if Mango is really sweet)

Recipe: (please use 1/3rd of all ingredients if trying only one 8" pie)
* Add 1.5cups cold water to 3 tiny packs of Gelatin, stir well and let it stay for 2 mins.
* Add 3/4th cup boiling hot water to the above and stir well and let it cool.
* In a big bowl, add all the ingredients and beat well using manual or electric whisk.
* Pour it into the crust and let it sit in Fridge for 3 to 4 hrs.
   (Close using the plastic lid that is part of the crust.)
* Top with any fruits or serve plain slices.

I missed to picture the slices, will do when I make it with fresh mangoes next time. If there is remaining liquid, pour it in small bowls and set them in fridge.
