Fantastic! This was my first attempt at a bread pudding and it was delicious. I had some rock hard leftover french bread and a super ripe mango to use up so this was perfect. Plus, I was really excited to use the cardamom I recently bought from Penzeys :). I did only use one mango since that was all I had on hand and like other reviewers I used 9X9 baking dish. I also learned my lesson on pouring the egg mixture immediately after whisking, my cardamom had sunk to the bottom of the bowl.

I made this recipe as it was written except the amount of cardamom. Since I only had cardamom seeds that I had to grind myself, I feared that it would be too strong, so I reduced it to 1 tsp. It was the perfect amount. I really love how the cardamom and mango tasted together. And it was relatively easier than I expected bread pudding to be. I will be making this again.

Just wanted to let anyone that needs cardamom that it can be found in middle eastern and international food stores. Th middle east stores sell it quite cheap and it works well in rice dishes and makes coffee flavorful too. Definitely a spice you are missing out on if you never tried it before..... This recipe is fabulous

Loved, loved, loved this recipe. Made it for friends who were duly impressed. Then, made it again substituting plums for the mango and yep, still fantastic! This recipe is a keeper. Love the cardamom spice in this. So flavorful!

I really enjoyed this-I found the mango to be a little tart, so I will make sure mine are nice and ripe next time. Also, I second another reviewer's advice to make sure the cardamom is well mixed. I really enjoyed the flavor the first time, but the second time I forgot to give it a final mixing and we had a few bites that were a bit too strong! Really a nice spin on one of our favorite desserts and the texture is perfect! *Note-my husband wanted me to try it with apples (he's not a huge mango fan). Don't even bother-I reduced the cardamom but it was still way too strong).

This was pretty good. I agree that it tastes better with icecream. It's a very different light flavor that I think someone who likes bread pudding better than I could appreciate more.
