Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mango Puree
To start, peel the ripe mangoes and chop them into chunks. Blend them in a mixer grinder or food processor until smooth, forming a fresh mango puree. Set aside.
Step 2: Whisk the Dairy Base
If you’re using full-fat milk instead of heavy cream, start by boiling 2 cups of milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the milk to half its original volume, which should be approximately 1 cup. Allow it to cool completely. For a quicker version, simply use heavy whipping cream and skip the milk reduction step.
In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt (curd) until it’s smooth. Add it to the milk or cream mixture and whisk carefully to combine, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 3: Add Condensed Milk
Once your yogurt mixture is smooth, add about 2/3 of the condensed milk to the mixture and whisk again until everything is well incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Mango Puree and Condensed Milk
Add the remaining condensed milk to the mango puree and blend for an additional minute to mix thoroughly. Then, take half of the prepared yogurt mixture and pour it into the mango puree, mixing again for another minute until both the yogurt and mango flavors are evenly combined.
Step 5: Set the Mixtures
Store both the yogurt-mango mixtures in separate bowls. Cover each bowl with aluminum foil and leave them to rest at room temperature for 1 hour. If you’re making this on a particularly hot and humid day, place the bowls in the refrigerator for the hour to help set the mixture.
Step 6: Assemble the Aam Doi
Once the mixtures have rested, it’s time to layer your dessert. Take serving bowls or glasses and spoon about 3–4 tablespoons of the mango mixture into each. Follow with 3–4 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture. Finally, add another 2–3 tablespoons of the mango mixture on top, creating a layered effect.
Step 7: Chill and Garnish
Place the prepared serving bowls in the refrigerator for another hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Before serving, garnish the Bengali Aam Doi with saffron strands or chopped dry fruits for added flavor and visual appeal.
