Mango Mania!

Now that Mangoes are available left-right-and center all over town, what better way to celebrate my darling niece's birthday than indulge in her favorite fruit - MANGO!  So here's a dedication to her.  ~Mango Trifle Pudding~

Mango Trifle Pudding

Ingredients:

2 Ripe Mangoes

8 tsp Mango Jam

8 slices of Fruit bread (I use Kwality here in India)

2 cups prepared Custard

2 cups Whipped cream

1 cup Biscuit crumbs (powdered Marie)

1 cup Sugar Syrup flavored with mango essence or Mango juice

8 small glasses (a little larger than shot glass)

Method:

1) Peel both Mangoes and extract pulp from one mango and cut the other mango into small 1 inch pieces. (Reserve the juices that you collect while cutting the mango, this can be added to the sugar syrup).

2) Divide the bread into half, so you should have 16 rectangular pieces.

3) In each glass, start layering the trifle with the bottom most layer of fruit bread.  Press it down firmly.  Pour 1 tsp of sugar syrup over it. 1 tsp of Mango jam forms the next layer. 1 tsp of biscuit crumb forms the next layer, press it down.  1 tsp of Mango puree, followed by 1 Tbsp of whipped cream layer.  Drop in a 1- 2 pieces of mango and repeat the bread layer with sugar syrup.  Finally top with 2 tsp of custard.

4) Decorate with Mango pieces and mint leaves.

Note: Make sure you cover the edges, as the layers are important to be seen through the glass. 

A lot more where that came from.... tucked away in the refrigerator for later ;) Ahhhh blissss!!! :)

Happy Cooking :)
