Orange-Mango Custard Delight

Everyone in my family loves mangoes. Every week there is at least one mango recipe in my kitchen. After much thinking, I tried to incorporate mangoes in the usual custard with a slight twist. This simple yet delightful custard with the goodness of chopped mango pieces and tanginess of orange juice was pure bliss. It was an instant hit at home. Kids will definitely love it and it is healthy too for them.

Ingredients:-

• 5 cups milk
• 1 cup fresh cream
• ½ cup orange juice
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 tbsp vanilla custard powder
• 3 tbsp roasted vermicelli
• 2 mangoes (peeled and chopped)

Method:-

• Mix custard powder with ½ cup milk. Make into a smooth paste. Keep aside.
• Boil the remaining milk.
• When milk starts boiling add sugar.
• Cook on slow flame for approx. 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gradually add the custard paste stirring well.
• Cook for another 2 minutes on slow flame stirring continuously.
• Switch of the flame and let it cool.
• Meanwhile boil vermicelli in water till done.
• Drain and keep aside.
• When custard is cool, add fresh cream.
• Mix well and add boiled vermicelli and orange juice.
• Serve garnished with chopped mangoes.

Notes:-

• You may avoid adding orange juice and add finely chopped orange jelly instead when the custard is cool.
• Instead of mangoes, you may use litchi (deseeded and cubed).
• You may use starwberries, but add starwberry custard powder instead.
• You may use canned pineapples and add syrup instead of juice to the custard.

Happy Cooking!!
