Filling: 4 egg yolks whisk with sweetened condensed milk for 3 minutes till pale and thick. Lime juice (lots, about 150 ml) and zest whisk in. The lime acid begins setting the filling immediately.

Mango Pudding

Mango Pudding

Ripe mango (Alphonso or Nam Dok Mai if available; any sweet ripe mango works) blends to a smooth puree with sugar and lime juice. Powdered gelatin blooms in cold milk 5 minutes. Half the milk warms to dissolve sugar; the bloomed gelatin stirs in to dissolve. The warm milk pours into the mango puree along with the cold remaining milk, evaporated milk and a splash of double cream. Whisked smooth, ladled into 6 small moulds or glasses, refrigerated for 4-6 hours until set. Served with diced fresh mango and a drizzle of evaporated milk.
