No 1 son has been away shearing and was due home tonight so I thought I’d make him a nice dessert for after our BBQ tea.

This is what I came up with. It was absolutely scrumptious.

Place mango over the top of the custard and top whole pie with whipped cream.

ENJOY!!

PS:  I had enough custard for nearly 2 pies so you could cut the mixture in half.

PPS:  I used frozen mango and it was a bit watery and I should have drained it first.  Fresh mango wouldn’t be a problem.

Blessings.
