Instructions

In a bowl, combine the mango puree and heavy cream. Set aside a small portion of the puree for garnishing later.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the custard powder with a little lukewarm milk until smooth. This prevents lumps from forming when added to the hot milk.
Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Slowly pour the custard mixture into the simmering milk, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue to whisk until the custard thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool slightly. Gently fold in the mango cream mixture.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
Before serving, garnish each bowl with the reserved mango puree.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For an extra burst of mango flavor, fold in small cubes of fresh mango between layers of pudding, or garnish the top with diced mango just before serving.
If you'd like a lighter version, substitute half of the cream with thick yogurt or coconut cream for a subtle tang or tropical twist.
To achieve a perfectly smooth texture, strain the mango puree through a fine mesh sieve before mixing it into the custard base.
For a stunning presentation, layer the mango custard pudding in individual glasses with crushed biscuits, ladyfingers, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for added texture and flair.

Expert Tips

Use ripe, but not overripe, mangoes for the best flavor and texture. Overripe mangoes can be stringy and have a less vibrant flavor.
Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set completely.
If using gelatin to set the pudding, be sure to bloom it properly in cold water before adding it to the warm custard base. This will ensure a smooth and even texture.
