I love bread, so i love bread pudding; but most of my family doesn't care for it too much. But my Grandmas Husband wanted me to make a dessert that had mangoes in it. So of course, i looked on [my fav. site for recipes] this website, and found this lovely recipe. I had just made bread pudding a couple days earlier from Paula Deens cookbook (which is the best thing i've ever tasted!) but i thought this would be something different and something to try. I dont care for mangoes that much, but it was good with the sweet and kind of tangy flvor from them, and i used fresh ones from the yard. And, boy did this just taste wonderful! I thought it came out just like bread pudding should, and the recipe was easy to follow. Very delicious! I served with some cool whip; you could also add an extra sliced mango on top for a garnish. :) enjoy.

I had such high hopes for this recipe as I love mangoes and I love cardamom. But I did not care for this. Maybe if I'd used fresh french bread or something, but I used old hot dog buns (to use them up) and just maybe that was the problem. What a waste of good mangoes, really.

My family just picked out the mangos and ate them. I used french bread and the final dish did not taste good, and I followed the recipe exactly.

Very tasty. I used wheat bread and fat free milk. I halfed the recipe but kept both mangos in. I didn't have any vanilla, but it was still plenty sweet. I wasn't sure about the cardamom (didn't like it in the lentil soup) but it tastes great in this. I served it warm with fat free cool whip on top. The cool whip really gave it the extra push it needed!

I had some Marzipan Stollen (from Christmas) in the freezer that needed to be used. I dried the slices for 2 days and diced the bread up small. I soaked the bread in the custard for about 30 minutes. I thought it needed just a little sauce so I whipped together a coconut sauce: 1 cup coconut milk (light works just fine), 1 T. white sugar, or more to taste, 1 T. cornstarch, 1/8 - 1/4 tsp. coconut extract and 1/2 - 1 T. shredded unsweetened coconut. Put 3/4 cup of coconut milk and sugar into a medium pot and heat until just simmering. Mix the cornstarch into the remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk and whisk till smooth. Add mixture to simmering milk and stir constantly until thickened. Remove from the heat, add the coconut extract and coconut. To serve I sliced the bread pudding and served the coconut sauce on the side. I actually think the bread pudding tasted better on the second day, but maybe it was because I had it with the coconut sauce on the second day and plain on the first day. At any rate, I liked this recipe. For someone who likes their dessert not so sweet and delightfully fruity, you should try this recipe.

So Easy! So Good! I've never had cardamom before (knowingly anyway) and what a distinctive and GREAT aroma and flavor. Kids loved it. Guests loved it. A WINNER!

My bread pudding came out horribly! I think the mangoes I used were too ripe and juicy because after the bread pudding came out of the oven, there was a layer of mango juice on the bottom! I literally had to pour and scoop it out. I also didn't use cardamom, but instead used cinnamon and ground ginger like another reviewer suggested, but it was still very bland. It was quite embarrassing when I brought this dish to my church's annual Thanksgiving dinner and no one wanted it. :(

Halved recipe, used 1.5 qt casserole and baked for 30 min. I made two batches, one with a cinnamon raisin bread and one with a bagguette. The cinnamon raisin batch had too many competing flavors the first day, but given a chance to meld was acceptable - 3 stars. The bagguette version was great right out and didn't last to the next day. The crusts were especially nice; I'm glad I used an end - 4 1/2 stars.

Good recipe. I was asked to bring dessert to a dinner featuring Indian food. This worked nicely. I used half cinnamon and half cardamon based on previous reviews. In the future, I would go ahead and use all cardamon, but that is a matter of personal taste.

This had a smooth texture and a great taste. I turned it into a sugar free recipe by using Splenda in place of the sugar. I only had whole cardamoms and it took a while to husk them and then grind the spice in my blender/grinder. Other than that, it was quick and easy. I will make this again.

Loved it! Not too sweet! I also made a drizzle for it using 1/4 Cup Hazelnut coffee flavor syrup, 1/4 cup Half & Half, and 2 ablespoons of Cornstarch. Heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes. And drizzle over top when down baking! YUMMY!

This is an excellent recipe. I love mangos and was looking for some good ways to use them, and my husband loves bread pudding so I figured this would be perfect. The only thing I changed was to reduce the cardamom to 1 tsp for fear of it being overpowering, and I thought that amount was perfect. I also really urge people not to replace the cardamom with another spice- it gives such an amazing flavor to the mango. I made this in ramekins, and topped them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream- delicious, and looked pretty too!

I made this for a family gathering, and everyone loved it! Of course, my parents are Indian, so they like anything with mango and cardamom in it. :-) I really do suggest using cardamom and not substituting another spice. The flavor meshes with fresh mango unlike anything else out there. This recipe was also easy, which is always a plus when cooking for a crowd.

WOW! This was so different than the average dessert and with the cardamom it had a very unique flavor. I upped the sugar to 1/2 cup and used a deep casserole dish but otherwise followed the recipe. Next time I will use just 1 t. cardamom since, as others mentioned, it is a strong presence.

Tasty recipe! The first time I made it, I did not have cardamom and substituted cinnamon. The result was very delicious. BF requested it again, so the second time, I used cardamom as listed in the recipe but we both wish I hadn't. The cardamom is strong, but that could just be personal taste. Next time, I will use only cinnamon and maybe mix in a handful of raisins as well. This is a light and flavourful dessert. Recommended!
