Oatmeal, mango and cheese pie

Filed under Cakes and pastries; My recipes; cheesecake, dessert, fruits, mango
Ingredients :
For the crust :
4 packets (1.3 oz. or 37 g. each) of flavored oatmeal (I used Quaker’s walnut, date and raisin oatmeal)
1 c. of unsifted all purpose flour
1/4 c. of chilled butter or margarine
1/2 c. of white sugar
1/2 tsp. of ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. of ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. of salt
For the filling :
500 g. of cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
3/4 c. of white sugar
2 tbsps. of all-purpose flour
3 ripe mangoes
Baking procedure :
Prepare the crust and topping :
In a bowl, mix together the oatmeal, flour, spices, sugar and salt. Cut in the chilled butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use a pastry cutter, two knives or your hand. I used my hand. I like to feel the texture so I know when to stop. Divide the mixture into two portions; set aside one portion in a cool place. In the Philippines, that would be the fridge. These days, butter melts fast even at midnight.
Pour half of the prepared crust into a 10-inch springform pan. If you do not have one, use an ordinary round cake pan. I did — springform pans are bloody expensive. Take a large piece of baking paper, push and tuck to fit into the bottom of the cake pan then smooth out the sides. It is important to leave an overhang which will serve as a collar to enable you to pull out the pie in one piece after it has been chilled.
Push the crust into the bottom of the pan to pack it in. Bake in a 160oC oven for 10 minutes then take it out.
Prepare the filling :
Cut the mangoes and remove the stones. Scoop out the flesh of each half in one piece (use a large spoon) then slice thinly.
With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the partially baked crust, scraping the mixing bowl as you do. Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to spread the filling evenly.
Arrange the sliced mangoes on top.
Sprinkle the reserved crust on top of the mangoes.
Bake in a 160oC oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned in places.
Cool completely in the pan, then chill (still in the pan) for several hours before cutting. I wrote my op-ed column while waiting for the pie to cool then I let it chill until breakfast. I know it sounds like a long time to wait but it’s really worth it.

That looks really yummy! i love that you used a cookie recipe that you have used for years as the crust and topping!
Hi Tai-tai, I figured an oatmeal cookie mix is an oatmeal cookie mix. Besides, I was drooling over the pics and Betty Crocker or no Betty Crocker, I just had to do it!
Hi Connie,
Do you think plain oatmeal wil do? can’t find any flavoured oatmeal here. Am dying to try making this for a saturday filipino get together!
jygva, yes, plain oatmeal will work. the oatmeal cookie recipe has plain oatmeal. but i suggest quick cooking oatmeal.
connie,
yeah i wii try this 2nyt for my kids.
hi connie! im interested in tryin this oatmeal pie .i dont have a cake pan, is it ok to use a pyrex glass pie dish?
i’ve tried a lot of your recipes and they all tastes great!thanks for this website!more power!
Hello Connie, do you think frozen mangoes ok? coz, we don’t have fresh mango here it’s either can or frozen only.pls.reply thanks!
fatima, you won’t be able to lift it out whole but if you don’t mind imperfectly shaped slices, why not?
Iv, I can’t guess since I have no idea what the consistency of your frozen mangoes is.
Ms Connie,
It’s me again lv! again ask ko lang pwede ba young nasa can na mangoes? or what if i use na lang fresh peaches kasi marami dito niyan. ols, reply ASAP.
ms. connie, pwede ko bang gamitin ang fresh peaches kasi mahirap hanapin ang mangoes here. tyou!
Iv, I’ve never tried canned mangoes so it’s hard to tell if they’re a good substitute. Fresh peaches are much more sour than fresh ripe mangoes so the baked pie will taste different.
Hi Ms. Connie, I’m addicted to your website!You’re enticing recipes awakened the chef in me. (naks!)
Just wanna share, I used frozen mangoes and plain oatmeal. I just added some pitted dates and peanuts to add some flavor to the pie crust. I was a bit worried about using frozen mangoes but the final product turned out great! It’s a yummy and perfect recipe for oatmeal in disguise
The addition of dates sounds great! Now, that’s inspired baking.
