Mango Custard

Hello all.....hope you are doing well. Few days back we arranged a small get together at our home. Get togethers are always full of fun and having it over a weekend is like "FUN-TASTIC". It's always good to have your friends and family around. Thanks to the weekend parties and potlucks; these are certainly very refreshing and a good way to rejuvenate yourself.

I planned an elaborate menu for the get-together which included:

Papdi Chaat 

Garlicky Egg Curry

Paneer Butter Masala

Chicken Biryani

Chicken Chaap

Mango Custard

Coming back to today's recipe i.e. Mango Custard. We all love mangoes and you can find out my love for mangoes in my blog too. I have so many recipes made out of the "King of Fruits". Usually custard is a cooked mixture of milk/cream and egg yolk; it's consistency can vary from thin pouring sauce to a thick pastry cream. The cooking option also varies. But, the method I used is very hassle free and crowd pleasing too.

Personally, I think nothing can beat the flavor of Mangoes so I never do any tampering with it. I just used Mango puree to prepare this custard, if you want you may add fresh fruits of your choice too.

Let's begin with the recipe:

Ingredients:

1. Milk: 500 ml +100 ml

2. Custard Powder: 2 tbsp

3. Mango Puree: 2 cups

4. Sugar: 1/2 cup (Adjust to your requirement)

Method:

1. Pour the milk (500 ml) in a heavy bottomed pan along with sugar and let it come to boil on medium heat.

2. Take the remaining (100 ml) of milk in a bowl and add the custard powder and mix well so that no lumps are formed.

3. When the milk starts boiling pour the milk-custard powder mixture in it very carefully. Stir continuously. Let the mixture cook for around 5-6 mins or until thickens.

4. Remove the mixture from heat, add mango puree and mix well.

5. Pour the mixture in serving bowl or individual serving moulds/ glasses. Refrigerate the custard for around 3-4 hours.

6. Before serving garnish it with fruits of your choice or with whipped cream as I did.
