INGREDIENTS USED IN EGGLESS MANGO CRÈME BRULEE
Milk
Milk adds moisture and creaminess to the custard, helping to achieve a smooth and velvety texture. Milk dilutes the richness of the cream, creating a lighter custard that is still creamy and indulgent. This balance of milk and cream ensures that the custard is not overly heavy or cloying, allowing the delicate flavour of the mangoes to come through. I have used Nestle Milk but you can use any milk of your choice.
Fresh Cream
The fat molecules in cream help stabilize the custard mixture, providing structure and preventing it from curdling or separating during baking. This ensures that the custard sets properly and maintains its creamy texture. Fresh cream adds a luxurious creaminess to the custard. it also acts as an emulsifier. I have used Amul cream to make this recipe.
Mangoes
The star flavour of this crème brulee is Mango. I have used local mangoes in this recipe. Make sure to use ripe and deep coloured mangoes for this recipe. Mangoes contribute to the sweetness of the dessert as well as adding a little bit of tartness and balancing the overall flavour profile of the crème brulee. Mangoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fibre. By incorporating mangoes into the ice cream, you can enjoy the nutritional benefits of this nutritious fruit while indulging in a delicious frozen treat. I have Weikfeild’s Custard Powder for this recipe.
Custard powder
In eggless recipes, custard powder can serve as a substitute for eggs, providing structure and thickening without the need for egg yolks. This makes it an ideal ingredient for vegan or egg-free versions of crème brulee. Custard powder contains cornstarch, which acts as a thickening agent when mixed with milk or cream and heated. In eggless mango crème brulee, custard powder helps thicken the custard mixture, giving it a creamy and smooth consistency similar to traditional custard made with eggs.
Sugar
Sugar provides sweetness to the custard, balancing the natural tartness of the mango puree and enhancing the overall flavour profile of the dessert. The sweetness of the sugar complements the fruity mango flavour, creating a harmonious and indulgent taste experience.
In crème brulee, sugar is sprinkled over the chilled custard and caramelized with a kitchen torch to create a crisp and golden-brown topping. This caramelization adds depth and complexity to the dessert, creating a contrast between the creamy custard and the crunchy caramelized sugar. I use castor sugar for all my recipes.
