Easy as Pi: 7 Sweet Ways to Celebrate 3.14

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
