This Mango Kheer recipe is a classic twist on Indian dessert Kheer. It is a rice pudding made using rice and flavored with mango puree. There are many sweet treats that you can make using Mangoes, but there is nothing like an Indian sweet with the fresh and sweet mangoes in it. Right?

Well I usually make rice kheer at home, when I have enough full cream milk in my fridge. But for summers, almost every year I make Mango flavored rice kheer at home, it is swiped clean in one go, yes it was so yummy.
What is Kheer?
Kheer is an Indian pudding where rice is cooked with milk until creamy texture. Traditionally kheer is seasoned with cardamom and saffron.Kheer made by simmering rice and milk in heavy pot or big vessels for a long time, this kheer has a rich, creamy taste and attractive pink color that comes out of the common thickening of milk.

Also, do not forget to chilling this rice kheer in the refrigerator for a few hours then add mango puree in it before serving,Add a few fresh mango pieces on top, and your lip smacking sweet mango rice pudding is ready to devour. 😍😍
Can we use Canned Mango Puree to make it?
Yes, you can use canned mango puree to make this dish.
But if mangoes are in season, there is nothing like making it using the fresh puree. If using canned puree, make sure to use either kesar or alphonso variety.
Here are some Mango recipes, that you can make this Summer – Mango Ice Cream, Mango Mastani, Mango Lassi, Mango Papad, Mango Aamras and Rose Mango Lassi.
Also make sure to adjust the amount of sugar, as the canned puree is on the sweeter side. I have used about 1/4 cup of as my mango puree is sweet. If your mangoes is not sweet increase the amount of sugar in to your kheer.
