Sugar-Free Mango Shrikhand
There’s something truly magical about Indian summers – the scent of mangoes ripening on the kitchen counter, the sound of ceiling fans spinning lazily, and bowls of cool, creamy shrikhand being scooped out after lunch.
This Sugar-Free Mango Shrikhand (Indian Mango Yogurt Mousse) brings back all those memories — only this time, it’s healthier, low in calories, and made with stevia instead of sugar.
Whether you’re watching your sugar intake, managing diabetes, or simply looking for a no-sugar Indian dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste, this recipe will hit the sweet spot.
And the best part? The base is made from homemade hung curd, giving it that authentic texture and taste we all grew up loving.
What is Mango Shrikhand?
Shrikhand is a traditional Indian dessert made by mixing thick hung curd (strained yogurt) with sugar and flavorings like cardamom, saffron, and fruit pulp.
Mango shrikhand, also known as amrakhand, is the summer version of this delicacy, blended with luscious mango puree.
We’ve taken the classic recipe and swapped out sugar for stevia, making it a sugar-free shrikhand that’s just as rich and satisfying, but guilt-free.
A Couple of My Reasons to Love this No-Sugar Mango Shrikhand:
✅ Made with just 5 ingredients
✅ Sweetened naturally with stevia OR monkfruit – no refined sugar
✅ Creamy, rich texture just like the one from sweet shops
✅ Diabetic-friendly, low calorie, and super refreshing
✅ Stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days
✅ Perfect for summer gatherings, pooja offerings, or healthy indulgence
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Here’s everything you need for the creamiest sugar-free mango shrikhand:
- Full-Fat Plain Curd / Yogurt (dahi) – you can use homemade or store-bought
- Mango Pulp – the sweeter the mango, the better the flavor
- Powdered Stevia – you can use any other sweetener or sugar, if you prefer
- Cardamom Powder (elaichi)
Garnish – Optional:
A few saffron strands soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk,
Chopped pistachios for garnish,
Edible rose petals.
Edible silver leaves
How to Make Sugar-Free Mango Shrikhand (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Make Hung Curd at Home (As shown in the picture below)
- Place a muslin cloth or cheesecloth over a strainer set on a bowl.
- Pour 2 cups of fresh curd into it and tie up the cloth.
- Let it sit in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours or overnight, allowing the whey to drain.
- What you’re left with is thick, creamy hung curd – the base of your shrikhand.
Tip: Using homemade curd makes a big difference in flavor and texture. Plus, it’s preservative-free and fresh!
Step 2: Prepare the Mango Pulp
- Peel and chop 1–2 ripe and sweet mangoes (remove the pit).
- Add to a blender and blend them into a smooth pulp (please don’t use any water to make the pulp).
- If using canned mango pulp, choose the unsweetened version.
Step 3: Mix It All Together (As shown in picture below)
- In a mixing bowl, add the hung curd and whisk to form a smooth paste.
- Add mango pulp, stevia (add less, taste, and can increase accordingly).
- Add cardamom powder and saffron milk (if using).
- Whisk until silky smooth.
Step 4: Decorate, Chill, and Serve
- Transfer the shrikhand into a large bowl or small dessert cups.
- Garnish with chopped nuts or more saffron.
- Chill for 2–3 hours before serving.
Storage Tip:
You can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. The flavor gets even better the next day!
Nostalgia in Every Bite
Growing up in North India, summer vacations were incomplete without mangoes and bowls of shrikhand after a hearty meal.
My mom used to hang curd in a soft cotton dupatta, tied to the kitchen tap, while the mangoes sat in a bucket of water to cool.
We’d peek into the fridge every hour, waiting for the shrikhand to chill just enough (which ofcourse took longer because of us 😉
Now, years later, I recreate the same taste but with a healthier twist – no sugar, no guilt.
Just pure, creamy mango joy that even my diabetic family members can enjoy.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve it in mini dessert cups for a festive look.
- Top it with granola or crushed almonds for a fun crunch.
- Pair with pooris or parathas for a traditional Maharashtrian-style brunch.
- Layer it into a mango shrikhand parfait with fruit and nuts.
Some Pro Tips for the Perfect Mango Shrikhand:
You can use Greek yogurt as a great shortcut, and it offers similar thickness. However, homemade hung curd has a more authentic Indian flavor.
Yes, you can use Stevia or Monkfruit to make this dessert. Always consult your doctor for portion control, but this version avoids spikes from refined sugar.
DONOT FREEZE SHRIKHAND
It’s best enjoyed fresh or chilled. Freezing may affect the texture, making it watery after thawing.
This dessert is the perfect balance of nostalgia and nutrition.
It’s quick, doesn’t require cooking, and fits into almost any dietary lifestyle – whether you’re on a diabetic diet, low sugar journey, or just want to enjoy mango season without overloading on calories.
Make a big batch on Sunday, and you have a chilled treat ready throughout the week.
Perfect for summer lunches, festive meals, or when you’re craving something sweet but wholesome.
