Mango Curd

Oh how to resist these lovely mangoes when they are relatively cheap! These 3 fruits weighed 1.35kg only for S$3.50! Really worth it as they are very sweet with thick flesh :) Besides eating as a fruit, I am very enthusiastic to try out new recipes ^,^ I want to prepare something new besides making into pudding, ice-cream or popsicles which I've done before. So here is my freshly cooked mango curd from my kitchen! Let's see how it will set after chilling till tomorrow and I will then continue to post recipes on how to serve this lovely mango curd ^.*....

this is how the texture thickens whereby it can coat the back of the spoon with a clean trail
