Instructions
Making mango custard recipe:
Take milk in a saucepan. Turn the heat on medium.
Add sugar and custard powder. Mix well using wire whisk and make sure there are no lumps of custard powder.
Add ginger powder. Again mix well.
Let the this mixture come to a simmer. Switch to spatula and stir it constantly with scraping sides and bottom. Make sure that it is not sticking to the pan.
As soon as it comes to a boil, within 2-3 minutes it will become really thick. Please keep stirring the mixture and scraping the pan.
Check the custard using wooden spoon or spatula. The thick custard will stick to the spoon, run a finger at the back of the spoon. See the line stay as such meaning, custard stay separated in that line. Meaning this is the perfect consistency.
Remove that custard to a bowl. Let it cool down for 3-4 minutes.
Now add mango pulp. Start whisking to mix it very well.
Once mixed, let it come to a room temperature. do stir occasionally every 5-10 minutes until it cools completely and make sure that it stays smooth.
As it cools, it gets more thick.
Divide the mixture into individual serving bowl.
Cover it with plastic wrap, chill in the fridge for 4-5 hours or till it is chilled.
