    Mango Madness
    Ingredients:
    2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    3/4 cup (about 10 ounces) sweetened condensed milk 1 1/2 cups pureed or mashed canned mango (we like Swad brand Alphonso mango slices in syrup, drained) 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
    1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
    1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
    Whipped cream (optional)

    Directions:
    In a large bowl, use an electric mixer set on medium speed to beat the cream cheese until it's fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the condensed milk, mango, saffron, and cardamom and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and well blended, about 2 minutes more.

    Pour the filling into the pie crust, then cover and freeze the dessert for at least 6 hours. Defrost it for 10 minutes before serving and top with whipped cream, if you like. Serves 10. less

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
