Sunshine In A Glass: Mango Pudding Recipe


We had some extra mangoes hanging around from a recent Bountiful Basket so I decided to whip up a divine pudding recipe I learned from our family friend Marta, who lives in Brazil.

We were kicking ideas around to give it an English name you all could understand because pudim de manga {in portuguese} AND mango pudding {in English} both sounded a little boring, and well, this one just needs something a little more exotic!

My husband wanted to call it chique-chique after a little town near where we lived in Brazil ~ that would be translated to chic, like "you are so chic, darling!" {and you truly are!}, not chick like the cute baby chickens {though they're cute too}!  But if you want to hear how it is pronounced, then click on over here ~ it is pretty darn cute!  That's why I love portuguese!  If languages could be called "cute" then Brazillian portuguese would be it!  But I digress... the name in the end that I keep thinking of is...

Sunshine In A Glass

2 mangoes, peeled and removed from pit
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cans worth {poured into empty sweetened condensed milk can} of heavy whipping cream

Place everything in a blender and blend until smooth.  Pour into serving dishes and chill until ready to eat.  Enjoy!

It is sinfully delicious I tell you!  So sinful I don't even want to know how many calories this baby has!  So if you can come up with a more exotic sounding name, then I'm all ears!
