Mango Shrikhand is a very common yogurt based dessert. We gujaratiâ€™s usually team it up with pooris, kadhi etc to create a sumptuous main course you will love to dine on. This time I have used mango shrikhand as a frosting in my chocolate cupcakes that I recently made and I am happy with the outcome.ðŸ™‚

This recipe is amazing and very easy to make. It is thick, creamy and delicious, once you taste you can just go on and on â€¦â€¦

2 cups hung curd (chakka)

Â½ cup powdered sugar

Â¾ cup fresh mango pulp

Â½ teaspoon cardamom powder

Pinch of nutmeg powder (jaiphal)

1 tablespoon milk

Few saffron strands

Almonds or pistachios or sprinklers (optional)

In a bowl, combine milk and saffron, mix well. Since the milk is warm, saffron will infuse its color immediately. Keep aside.

Take the peeled mangoes chop them into small cubes and make the puree or you can use store brought canned puree or if you have stored in the freezer for round the year as I do.

In a deep bowl, place the hung curd and whisk well.

Add mango pulp and powdered sugar and mix well.

Add saffron milk, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder. Stir it well using spatula till everything is incorporated well. Do not stir vigorously or you will get runny or thin consistency.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Garnish with nuts or sprinklers and serve chilled.

I have used this creamy shrikhand for frosting chocolate cupcakes and I must say it was awesome!!! Chocolate and mango shrikhand is perfect when you don’t want to make butter cream or ganache frosting.
