Pairing milk sweets and mangoes makes it so delicious. The mangoes lift up the sweet and the sweet lifts up the mango. Shrikhand is a super delicious recipe famous in Maharashtra and Gujrat. It is nothing but sweetened hung curd flavoured with cardamom. To amp it up, pureed mango is added to shrikhand, and the recipe is called as Amrakhand because of the addition of Aam.
You can serve it as it is or topped with saffron and nuts or in this case, with mini rasgollas. I also have a recipe for Rasmalai Shrikhand which is slightly different from this recipe.

Rasgolla Amrakhand Recipe – Mango Puree
The mango puree is the important ingredient of amrakhand. USe sweet ripe mangoes without fibre. It can give you the lightest delicious amrakhand. If the mago has lots of fibres, then it won’t be a good experience. You can pass the puree through a metal sieve to get rid of the fibres before adding curd.
You can either powder sugar, whisk it with the hung curd or add the sugar while making the puree itself.
Making the Hung Curd
You can make the hung curd previous day itself. Just line a sieve with a cotton cloth, pour the curd inside and refrigerate it overnight. This will also keep your hung curd cold and it won’t turn too sour. Make sure that the curd is nice and thick. Give it overnight to get rid of all the water content.
Instead of mixing everything with a spoon, use a hand whisk to make the amrakhand lighter. Keep whisking so that it incorporates a lot of air and the final dish is airy , light and melts in the mouth. Check out the small video from my Instagram account to know how easy it is to make Amrakhand.
There is nothing gorgeous than a bowl of Amrakhand topped with rasgollas and pistachios. This also makes an amazing part dessert. Make it the previous day, cover and set in fridge. It is easy to serve on party day.
