2 cups ripe mango, peeled and diced (out of season, substitute with canned mango, drained)
1 ½ cups sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cups milk
5 egg yolks
1 cup cream, whipped
Description
Combine the mango, ½ cup of sugar and lime juice in a non-metallic bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Gently heat the milk in a saucepan.
Whisk the egg yolks and ¾ cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the hot milk slowly while whisking.
Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, uncovered, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon – about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
