Custard Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mango Puree

    Peel and chop the ripe mangoes, then blend them in a food processor until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of mango puree and set aside.

  2. 2

    Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  3. 3

    Cook the Custard Base

    In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Then fold in the mango puree until well combined.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the custard into serving cups or molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once set, garnish each serving with fresh fruit like mango slices and mint leaves before serving.
