A Flavourful Mango Custard

Sometimes when you feel for a simple custard, a mango flavored custard is just what you need. I always enjoy making this mango custard during the mango season, but if you can get ripe mango any other time of the year, go ahead and try this recipe.

Ingredients

• ripe mango, enough to make 1 cup pureed mango
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup evaporated milk. scalded
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Peel mango and remove the seed.
• Process mangoes in a food processor or blender until smooth to get the pulp. Set aside 1cup.
• Beat eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until frothy.
• Add lime rind to the egg. This will help remove most of the fresh “eggy” scent.
• Add sugar and salt beat until blended
• Gradually add milk, mango puree and vanilla extract, beating at low speed until blended.
• Pour custard mixture into 8 (6-ounce) or 6 (5-ounce) custard cups, ramekins, etc.
• Set the custard cups in a roasting pan. Add hot water to a depth of 1 inch. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove ramekins/ custard cups from water carefully.
• Serve mango custard at room temperature or chilled with mango slices and a dollop of whipped cream topping.
