Calories: 64kcal
Equipment
- Silicone Whisk
- Infrared Surface Thermometer
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Egg Yolks
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 cup Mango Pulp
- 1 teaspoon Citric Acid
- 6 tablespoon Salted Butter Chilled and cut into pieces.
Instructions
- In a small pot, whisk together egg yolks, large egg, and sugar until well combined. Add the mango pulp and the citric acid, whisk until well combined.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon and retain a clear trail when a finger is dragged across the back of the spoon. Ideally, you want the mixture to reach 165F - I use an infrared surface thermometer for this.
- Once mixture is thick / hot enough, transfer to a bowl. Add the pieces of butter, whisking until well incorporated.
- Once all of the butter has melted in and been fully incorporated into the curd, transfer mango curd to your storage container and chill for at least 1 hour before use.
Notes
This mango curd will last for 2 weeks in the fridge, or a few months in the freezer. (Thaw overnight in the fridge before use!)
