Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe black plantains, peeled

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 drop red food coloring, or as needed

  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust

  • 1 mango, sliced

  • 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place plantains in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and mash until smooth. Add 1/2 cup white sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and red food coloring.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Flour a pie plate; line the plate with the pie crust.

  3. Pour the plantain mixture into the pie crust. Arrange sliced mangos on top and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until mostly firm, about 30 minutes.
