I made a mango pie for 𝜋-day using this NYTimes recipe (LOCAL) which is also featured in this article.

I really followed the recipe pretty closely with the following notes:

• About an extra Tbsp of butter in the crust since it wasn't holding together
• One large deep-dish pan instead of two small
• Heated the mango to 150°F before adding to the bloomed gelatin. Some commenters said theirs was a bit clumpy so that helped

While it took a lot of appliances (food processor, mixer, and blender) and a lot of bowls (since you had to shuffle around), it all came together pretty smoothly. And since it wasn't baked, I didn't have to worry about the larger pan.

I thought the flavor was okay. It really just tasted like mango. Similarly, the texture was very gelatinous (surprise!). I think I would have preferred it be more of a custard with that texture and richness. But it was well received (and got second place in the contest)
