Bread Mango Layer Pudding- Creamy Mango Custard Pudding



Bread Mango Layer Pudding

One of my fruit of the moment is mango. I am enjoying the fruit before the season ends. Today I am sharing mango pudding that is refreshingly light and sinfully delicious. If you are a mango lover, here is a decadent treat for you!  Luscious mango pudding has layers of white bread and mango custard. It is topped with fresh whipped cream and studded with mango pieces. Does that not sound like a delectable dessert? It is the quickest dessert you can ever imagine and is a perfect summer treat. Mango bread layer pudding is no-bake pudding, a last-minute dessert idea for entertaining. It can be effortlessly made well ahead of time and ideal dessert for an informal family gathering.

The basic custard recipe is simple, and it is versatile- you can use it in a million ways. But the simplest way to serve the luscious creamy custard is chilled with chopped fruits or jelly. Mangoes are naturally sweet, and it enriches the luscious custard with so much flavor. Of course, you can choose your favorite fruits. You can use other fruits like strawberry, stewed pineapple, lychee, rambutan, or mixed fruits of your choice. You can substitute bread with biscuits and add nuts or toasted coconut for an extra crunch. It is best when served chilled. You can dress up this simple custard-like fancy dessert for special occasions. Condensed milk also adds great flavor and taste to the custard. Almond milk or coconut milk can also be great substitutes for a vegan dessert. 

Custard is a thick creamy sauce made of milk, sugar, and egg yolk. There are two ways to make custard- the traditional egg custard and the one with custard powder. Custard powder contains cornflour, and it thickens to form a custard-like sauce when mixed with hot milk and heated. It is available in Indian grocery stores. It is mixed with hot milk and cooked until it is slightly thick. You can use fresh mango, or canned mango puree to make this recipe. The best one is Alphonso's mangoes. It is sweet and has a delicious creamy texture. It is available in supermarkets during summer. But canned mango puree also works fine with this recipe. Make it and share it with family and friends. Let me know how it turned out for you. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Bread slices- 8
Heavy whipping cream- 1 1/3 cup
Chopped mangoes- 3/4 cup
Milk- 2 cups
Condensed milk- 1/2 tin 
Thick Mango puree- 1 cup
Egg yolk-2
water- 1/3 cup
Sugar- 3 tbs
Gelatin- 1tsp (optional)
Vanilla essence-1/2 tsp
Corn starch- 2 tsp

In a bowl, whisk chilled whipping cream for about two minutes. Gradually add the sugar, little by little, and continue whipping till it attains soft peaks. Cover and keep it in the refrigerator till ready to use.

Chop mangoes for the filling and garnish and set aside.

Take 3 tsp of water in a bowl, and sprinkle gelatin and mix well. Let it stand for one minute. Meanwhile, heat three tbs of water in a saucepan, and bring it to a boil. Add the gelatin and stir till it is dissolved and well combined.

Make a puree with the rest of the mangoes ( approximately one and one-half cups of puree). Mix this with condensed milk and set aside.
Bring milk to a slight boil in a heavy bottom pan over medium heat. While the milk is heating, whisk eggs yolks, one tsp of sugar, and beat till the mixture is pale and thick. While beating the egg mixture, slowly pour 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the bowl and whisk constantly. Pour the egg and milk into the saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook until the mixture thickens. Mix corn starch with water and make a thin paste. Stir into the custard mixture. Stir constantly for one minute and switch off the flame. When it cools down a bit, add vanilla essence, mango pulp, and gelatin and mix.

You can set the pudding in a glass tray or individual serving cups. Trim off the edges of the bread and layer bread on the bottom. Spread half of the custard over the bread, then the whipped cream and chopped mangoes. Place another layer of bread, and pour the rest of the custard on top, and spread evenly. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for two to three hours. Garnish with fresh mango, glazed cherries, or whipped cream and serve.
