If you were tuned into Breakfast with Ally & Brendan this morning, you may have heard a big claim about the best mango pie recipe going around this fine country.

Hopeland listener Chris from Queensland was happy to share her Famous Mango Pie recipe, which she said was “best made the day before” and “best with Queensland Bowen mangoes but Kensington pride are Plan B”.

Wherever you listen from in Sydney, Australia or overseas, why not give this dessert a test run this Christmas, and you can thank Chris later.
