As summer arrives, the sweet scent of ripe mangoes fills the air, bringing back memories of joyful family gatherings and warm evenings spent enjoying delicious desserts. There’s something special about this season, and with Butti Fitti’s farm-fresh mangoes, it’s an invitation to celebrate summer flavors in a delightful way.

In this blog post, we’ll explore two irresistible mango-based desserts: the beloved Mango Halwa and the creamy Mango Pudding. These treats not only celebrate the essence of summer but also highlight the rich flavor and quality that Butti Fitti mangoes bring to the table.

Mango Halwa – A Festive Favorite

Mango Halwa is more than just a dessert; it’s a joyful celebration of flavors and aromas that embodies the heart of Indian sweets. Made with ripe mango pulp and the rich essence of ghee, this treat is soft, rich, and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina (suji)

• 1 cup ghee

• 2 cups fresh mango pulp (preferably Butti Fitti)

• 1 cup sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

• 1 teaspoon cardamom powder

• A handful of chopped cashews

• Optional: Saffron strands for garnish

  
  

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Roast the Semolina: Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add semolina and roast on low heat until it turns golden brown and a nutty aroma fills the kitchen.

   
   

2. Add Mango Pulp: Mix in the fresh mango pulp thoroughly, transforming the mixture into a vibrant, golden blend.

   
   

3. Sweeten it Up: Stir in sugar and cardamom powder. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves and the halwa thickens, usually around 10 minutes.

   
   

4. Finish with Nuts: Stir in chopped cashews and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the halwa pulls away from the sides of the pan.

   
   

5. Serve Hot or Warm: For a delightful experience, serve the warm halwa alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of warm halwa and cold ice cream creates a blissful dessert moment!

Mango Pudding – A Chilled Indulgence

If you're in need of a refreshing dessert after a summer meal, Mango Pudding is the ultimate choice. This creamy, dreamy treat melts in your mouth and delivers an unforgettable mango experience that delights both young and old.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh mango pulp (Butti Fitti mangoes preferred)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 teaspoons gelatin or agar-agar

  
  

Easy No-Bake Method

1. Prepare the Gelatin: Dissolve gelatin in a small bowl of hot water, letting it cool slightly.

   
   

2. Blend Ingredients: Combine mango pulp, condensed milk, and heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

   
   

3. Combine Gelatin: Gently fold the cooled gelatin into the mango mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.

   
   

4. Chill: Pour the mixture into serving cups and allow it to set in the refrigerator for a minimum of three hours or until firm.

   
   

5. Serve with Flair: To impress your guests, serve in parfait glasses topped with fresh mango pieces or whipped cream for a lovely presentation.

   
   

Optional Variations

• Chia Mango Pudding: Swap gelatin for chia seeds for a nutritious twist.
