Peach Mango Pie
Peach Mango Pie with mouth-watering tropical filling and golden, flaky pie crust. Enjoy Jollibee’s popular pocket pie at home with this homemade recipe.
I have a confession to make, I’m totally hooked with Jollibee peach mango pies. So, when we visited London last month where there is a Jollibee restaurant, I didn’t pass up the chance to buy a bunch. I will have them any time of day like breakfast, snack or dessert. It’s just so good!
Now that we are back in Paris and my “baon” of the pie desserts from Jollibee is depleted, I know I needed to make my own from scratch. After a few fails and some adjustments, I’m finally happy with my homemade peach mango pie recipe that I’ll share with you. It’s just like the one from the restaurant or even better!
Why Is It Popular?
The pie is sweet treat offered by Jollibee which is a fast-food chain in the Philippines. It’s a mouthwatering dessert that combines the sweetness of peaches and the tropical flair of mangoes, all wrapped in a golden, flaky pastry crust.
The filling consists of ripe, juicy peaches and ripe mangoes, gently tossed with sugar, a touch of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of cornstarch to thicken the filling when baked. The combination of these fruits creates a symphony of flavors, making this pie a true delight. No wonder why Filipinos are truly fond of these tasty pocket pies.
Do you have to peel the peaches before baking in a pie?
One of the most common questions when preparing a Peach Mango Pie is whether to peel the peaches before including them in the filling. The good news is that it’s entirely up to your preference. Leaving the peel on adds a rustic touch to the pie and contributes a slight texture to the filling. However, if you prefer a smoother and more refined consistency, peeling the peaches is recommended.
To peel the peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slide off effortlessly, allowing you to proceed with the pie preparation.
