About Mango Ambrosia
Mango Ambrosia is a simple easy fruit salad made by combing mango mixture with different varieties of fruits. The mango custard has a rich creamy mixture made with few ingredients like mangoes, milk, fresh cream, sugar, and saffron. It has smooth texture, natural sweet taste from the mangoes.
This dessert is really popular when it is summer and fresh mangoes are available. When you eat it cold it is really nice to have. The dessert actually tastes even nicer when you serve it cold so it is nice to have the dessert, in the fridge and eat it when it is cold.
It is also very easy to make this dessert as it takes just few minutes of your time. You can use the fruits you have at home like apples or bananas or grapes or pineapple or pomegranate or even some extra mango pieces.
Every time you try a combination of fruits the dessert tastes a little different and the texture is also different so you can try out different fruits and see what you like.
I usually make this dessert when I get mangoes that are sweet. Everyone at home loves the dessert. It gets emptied pretty fast. The dessert is one of those things that you can keep in the fridge for a day.
Mango Ambrosia Ingredients
- Mangoes - I have used ripe sweet mangoes for creamy texture and mango flavour, but you can use any variety you like.
- Milk - Added milk to make the mango mixture smooth and creamy.
- Fresh Cream - Used to make the dessert rich and creamy. You can also use whipping cream.
- Sugar - Added sugar for sweetness, you can just adjust as per taste depending on how sweet your mangoes are.

Expert Tips
- Mangoes - I usually use ripe and naturally sweet mangoes because they give the best flavour.
- Adjust Consistency - You can add little more milk if you like a thinner custard. I have made it slightly thick so it coats the fruits well.
- Fruits - I always add fresh fruits for better taste and texture. You can use any fruits of your choice.
- Chilling - I just chill the dessert before serving because it tastes much better when cold. The flavours also blend nicely after chilling.
