With the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, this luscious Lemon Mango Icebox Pie is sure to please.
There’s something wonderfully simple about making an icebox pie. They require only a few ingredients and bake ever so slightly. The pie firms up in the refrigerator or the freezer and after a couple of hours is ready to serve. I used a store bought crust because I wanted to keep it simple. If you want to make your own, I can highly recommend the one I use in my Black Cherry Jello Pie.
Why This Recipe Works
- The mango adds a wonderfully sweet, tropical flavor and when mangos are combined with a tart lemon, it’s perfection.
- This Lemon Mango Icebox pie is the perfect warm weather dessert.
- This pie is light and the custard filling is rich and extra creamy.

This looks SO good! I’ve never made an icebox pie before but I think it’s time to give it a try.
Thank you, Sara. Icebox pies are so easy to make, I love making them in the summer, they’re such a cool treat.
This looks so easy! I love the idea of mango added to the lemon pie. Delicious. Sending positive thoughts for you and your boys. As a child who did not move back home, there was definitely a little animosity toward the two who did. I hear ya! Good luck. No advice – I hope it’s short-lived but that the time together is a gift in some way.
Thank you so much, Erin. It is nice having the boys home and I’m happy we can provide what they need until they move on their way again.
What a great idea to add a mango Joanie! Such a perfect summer dessert!!
Thanks, Deb. I’m a huge mango fan and love it in this pie.
This looks so yummy! I love the lemon with the mango–keeps the mango from being too sweet!
Thank you, Laura. Yes it’s the pefect balance of tart and sweet.

Lemon and mango??? I’m in LOVE! What a delicious looking pie!
Thanks, Trish!
My mom made lemon ice box pies all summer long when I was growing up, but I’d never thought to add mango! That sounds delicious!
It really is, Julie. Thank you!
Having adult children move home is hard!!! Luckily mine have never been back for any long period at a time but when they do come home its hard to get out of “mom mode” I still can’t sleep well at night until I know they’re home safe and sound and they’re 25 & 26! My oldest is a photographer in LA…tough city to make a go of it in. Best of luck to your son’s new career in Houston. PS, the pie sounds divine!
I am totally in “mom mode” and I need to get out of it. My husband keeps reminding me that my oldest is 26! Thanks so much for your kind words, I appreciate it.
