Say I want to veganize, or at least de-dairify, Hrishikesh Hirway's mom's mango pie recipe, but not end up with liquid pie, like Hrishi did (even though that cooking failure inspired a new flavour of ice cream).

Have you made such adaptations yourself, and refined them? What would you suggest? Any Very Clever Tricks?

I'd accept animal-based gelatin, but not cream or cream cheese.

Original family version

1 ½ cups boiling hot water
1 ½ packages unflavored gelatin
4 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. Cool Whip
16 oz. mango pulp (Alphonso if available)
½ cup sugar
2 graham cracker pie crusts
