How to Make Mango Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a blender, combine 2 cups of ripe mango chunks, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of whole milk until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs slightly.
  6. Temper the eggs by slowly whisking about 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture into the eggs to prevent them from scrambling. Then, whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
  7. Stir in the blended mango mixture.
  8. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Continue to cook and stir for 2 full minutes to ensure the custard is fully cooked.
  10. Remove from heat and pour into a 1-quart shallow oven-safe baking dish.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until set around the edges. The center will still be slightly jiggly.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool completely before chilling thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled and enjoy!
