Ingredients:
Mango Layer:
200g chopped mango: Fresh and ripe for the best flavor.
2 tbsp sugar: To enhance the natural sweetness of the mangoes.
150g mango puree: Optional, but it adds an extra layer of intense mango flavor. (If you’re using all fresh mangoes, you can skip the puree and increase the chopped mango.)
Custard Layer:
2 tbsp sugar: Just enough to sweeten the custard without overpowering the mango.
4 tbsp cornstarch: This thickens the custard, giving it a smooth and silky texture.
300ml milk: Full-fat milk works best for a rich and creamy custard.
Whipped Cream Layer:
200ml whipping cream (minimum 33% fat): The high-fat content ensures a stable and fluffy whipped cream.
2 tbsp sugar: To lightly sweeten the cream, balancing the richness of the mango.
50g reserved mango puree (around 1/4 cup): Adds a subtle mango flavor to the cream, tying all the layers together.
Decoration:
100g crumbled vanilla cake or muffins: Adds a bit of texture and a subtle vanilla flavor that complements the mango.
100g finely chopped mango: For an extra burst of freshness in each bite.
Mango cubes (optional): For a beautiful and appetizing garnish.
Why This Recipe Works:
The genius of this recipe lies in its balance of textures and flavors. The creamy custard, rich with the essence of mango, pairs perfectly with the airy whipped cream infused with mango puree. The crumbled cake adds a delightful contrast, providing a bit of crunch to offset the smoothness of the other layers. Each bite is a harmonious blend of sweetness and creaminess, punctuated by the fresh, tropical taste of mango. Moreover, the no-bake method means you can enjoy this treat without heating up your kitchen—a perfect dessert for warm days!
