Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup white flour
1/3 cup butter
1 beaten egg
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 large mangoes, seeded, peeled, and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
3/4 cup peach nectar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
chopped toasted macadamia nuts (to garnish)
Directions:
1. Spread the 1/2 cup nuts in a baking pan and toast in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden, stirring once or twice. Cool. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour and toasted nuts; cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add egg; stir until combine. Form into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/8 thickness. Line a 9-inch pie plat with pastry. Fold edge under and flute. Prick well. Bake in a 350°F oven about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
2. In a bowl beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Stir in 1 tbs of the cream. Beat remaining cream until soft peaks form; fold into cheese mixture. Spread in pie shell. Overlap mango slices in circles on top, reserving a few mango slices for garnish.
3. In a saucepan combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and orange peel. Stir in peach nectar and lemon juice. Cook and stir till thick and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Spoon mixture evenly over mango slices. Chill 3-6 hours. Garnish with reserved mango slices and chopped nuts.
4. Enjoy!
