Mango is known as the king of fruits and as summer arrives they are available in abundance. Mangoes can be eaten raw or ripe. Raw mangoes are generally used to make pickles. Ripe mangoes are used to make a variety of deserts such as shakes, puddings, ice creams, mousse, cakes just to mention a few.
It is very popular among all age groups,parties,wedding and home. Custard powder is available in the market, in Indian grocery stores and online at Amazon. It comes in an array of flavors like Strawberry, Vanilla, Mango, Banana and others.
Since I was making mango custard I decided to use the mango flavor but you can use the vanilla one as it is more universal. This recipe covers the Indian way of making the custard. This desert is perfect for all occasions.
My kids love it so I end up making it frequently during the summer. It can be made ahead of time and can be refrigerated for few days. Make it and you will enjoy it to the last spoonful.
