Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz fully ripened and tender mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced Choose ripe mangoes for best flavor.
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1.5 tbsp gelatin or 1.5 tsp agar agar powder for a vegan version Use agar agar for a vegan dessert.
  • 1.5 tbsp white granulated sugar
  • 0.54 cups coconut milk (full fat) or substitute with evaporated milk, heavy cream, or evaporated coconut milk Full-fat coconut milk gives a creamier texture.
  • 4 tbsp evaporated milk or coconut milk for a vegan version

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the mango chunks in a blender or food processor until smooth. For extra smoothness, feel free to strain it!
  2. In a small bowl, mix cold water with gelatin until it thickens.
  3. Whisk in sugar, coconut milk, and mango puree until perfectly smooth.
  4. Heat the mixture in a pot over low heat until the gelatin dissolves. (Important: No boiling, please!)
  5. Pour into your serving bowls or molds, then refrigerate it for at least 6 hours or—better yet—overnight until it’s perfectly set.
  6. Enjoy cold with a drizzle of evaporated milk or coconut milk!

Notes

Store your mango pudding in the fridge for about 5 days. If freezing, let it thaw slowly in the fridge before consuming. Making it the night before ensures the best results.
