We went for a short trip to India last month. Though the trip was only for 10 days, the after effects were much longer! It was really hot back home and by the time we came back, Bahrain Summer was waiting to welcome us.
It took me almost two weeks to get back to routine. One good thing in the midst of all this heat is, a box of Ratnagiri Alphonso Mangoes were waiting for us. Remember, last year I told you about how awesome those Mangoes were. Since the Mango season started, I was waiting for this mangoes. Finally, we got it and the timing couldn't be more perfect!
Let me borrow my words from last year's post here “those mangoes are too good, that you feel that you’re ruining them if you try to make something out of it.” Well, that still stands true. However, I've been getting requests for some Mango based Dessert recipes and seeing that Eggless No Bake Mango Cheesecake is a big hit, I decided to make another no bake eggless Mango Pudding.
This is a perfect summer dessert! It's so refreshing and the addition of fresh mango pieces gives an extra punch to it. It's very light and mildly sweet, if you check the recipe, I've used only a small quantity of sugar, compared to regular puddings.
If you like Mango based desserts, this is a must try!

Notes
You can use any biscuits that you use for layered puddings, instead of ladyfinger / tiramisu biscuit. You can also use pound cake/ sponge cake instead of biscuits. Alternatively, you can skip the biscuits / cake completely and just this as mango mousse cups.
You can use more mangoes while layering the pudding, in addition to the bottom and top layer of mangoes, you can add one in the middle too.
You can use china grass / agar agar instead of gelatine.
If you prefer a more creamier / richer pudding, you can use evaporated milk instead of regular milk.
