Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe mangoes
• 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for soup)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 teaspoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Basmati rice
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for pudding)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
• 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into chunks, discarding the pits. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar and let it caramelize slightly, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the mango chunks to the caramelized sugar and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Pour 1.5 cups of water into the saucepan with the mangoes. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mangoes break down further.

Step 5

Blend the mango mixture into a smooth soup using an immersion blender or a countertop blender. Stir in 2 teaspoons of lime juice. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

Rinse 0.5 cups of basmati rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Step 7

In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed rice, 2.5 cups of whole milk, and 0.5 cups of heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

To serve, pour the caramelized mango soup into a shallow bowl and scoop a ladle of poppy seed rice pudding into the center. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
