For this recipe, you will need:
- 2 cups Olper's full cream milk
- 1/2 cup custard powder (vanilla or mango flavor)
- 3–4 slices of bread (preferably a bit stale for better texture)
- 1 ripe mango, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste based on the sweetness of the mango)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, to toast bread)
- A handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut for scattering on top (optional)
Using Olper's milk and custard makes your pudding base exceptionally smooth, flavorful, and delicious, as it should be.
HOW TO MAKE MANGO CUSTARD BREAD PUDDING
Preparing the Custard
Heat 2 cups of Olper's full cream milk in a pan on medium heat. Blend 1/2 cup of custard powder and a small amount of cold milk in another bowl to create a smooth paste. When the milk in the pan begins to warm, add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add custard paste slowly while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Stir continuously until the custard thickens and becomes pourable for your bread pudding with custard.
PREPARING THE BREAD
While the custard cools slightly, get ready with your bread slices. You may lightly toast them in butter for added flavor or keep them plain to serve the pudding soft. Cube the bread to layer easily.
LAYERING THE PUDDING
In a baking dish or serving dish, place the first layer of bread cubes. Add some diced mangoes on top, and then some warm custard over them in a good quantity. Repeat the same way until you have a few layers, with custard on top. This layering process is the secret to the perfect easy pudding recipe with Olper's.
CHILLING OR BAKING
To prepare a summer dessert with mango that is chilled, cover the pudding and refrigerate it for a minimum of two hours before serving. For the baked dessert, bake the pudding in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes and serve it warm.
DECORATING & SERVING
Sprinkle some more fresh mango cubes, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut on top. Using Olper's combination of textures will make everyone compliment your mango custard bread pudding.
TIPS FOR PERFECT CUSTARD TEXTURE
To get a smooth custard that hardens, use full-fat milk such as Olper's at all times. If you use low-fat milk, it will be watery, and it won't layer over bread. Stir your custard constantly while it cooks so it doesn't get lumpy and you get an even texture. Allow your custard to cool slightly before pouring it over the bread—this prevents the bread from getting soggy. Finally, use sweet, ripe mangoes for that natural touch of flavor; their sweetness will make everyone love this mango dessert recipe.
VARIATIONS YOU CAN TRY
The traditional mango custard bread pudding is perfect on its own, but you can experiment with variations according to your taste. Add some condensed milk to make the custard richer and more authentic. To make the texture even better, use soft sponge cake instead of bread. Coconut shreds, chopped nuts, or a pinch of saffron can be added to enhance the flavor. If mangoes are not in season, bananas, peaches, or pineapple will also taste great in place of mangoes in your bread pudding with custard.
SERVING & STORAGE TIPS
For the best flavor, refrigerate your pudding for two hours before serving. This blends the flavors together beautifully. Serve cold on a warm day or warm for a cozy evening dessert. If there are leftovers, store them in a covered container in the fridge for two days. Do not freeze the pudding, as it will change and become grainy when thawed. This is especially true for any easy pudding recipe with Olper's.
