Notes
Recipe Notes
- Use chilled cream: Cold heavy cream whips faster and gives a fluffier texture — don’t skip this!
- Don’t overmix: Once the cream is thick and holds peaks, stop. Overwhipping can make it grainy.
- No Kesar mango pulp? Alphonso or canned mango pulp works too — just adjust sugar based on sweetness.
- Make ahead tip: This dessert is even better the next day. Chill overnight if you can for the best flavor.
- Serving idea: Try layering in mini jars or tubs for parties, gifting, or an easy grab-and-go treat.
