Notes
Choose Ripe Mangoes: Select ripe and sweet mangoes for the best flavor. Look for mangoes that are fragrant and yield slightly to gentle pressure when ripe. Properly Chill Ingredients: Make sure the whipping cream and condensed milk are well chilled before whipping. This helps achieve a stable and airy texture when whipped. Consistency of Whipping Cream: Whip the whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can result in a grainy texture. Soft peaks mean the cream holds its shape but still has a slight curl at the tip.Smooth Mango Puree: Blend the mangoes until smooth and free of lumps. A silky smooth puree ensures a creamy and uniform texture in the pudding.Layering Technique: When layering the biscuit base and filling, press down firmly on each layer to create a compact and even surface. This helps prevent the layers from shifting and ensures a neat presentation.Allow Sufficient Chilling Time: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until set. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures the pudding has the right consistency.Garnish with Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh mint leaves and mango pieces for garnish. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors add a beautiful contrast and elevate the overall presentation of the pudding.Serve Chilled: Mango pudding is best served chilled, straight from the refrigerator. The cool temperature enhances the refreshing taste of the mangoes and the creamy texture of the pudding.
