Ingredients
Scale
Mango Puree
- 12 oz fully ripened and tender mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced
Gelatin Mixture
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1.5 tbsp gelatin or 1.5 tsp agar agar powder (for vegan version)
- 1.5 tbsp white granulated sugar
- 0.54 cups coconut milk (full fat) or substitute with evaporated milk, heavy cream, or evaporated coconut milk
- 4 tbsp evaporated milk or coconut milk (for vegan version)
Instructions
- Ripe Mango Puree: Transfer the peeled, pitted, and diced mango chunks into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a silky mango puree. For an extra smooth texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve.
- Gelatin Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the cold water with gelatin powder (or agar agar for a vegan version) and allow it to bloom or hydrate according to the ingredient’s instructions. Then add the sugar, coconut milk, and the prepared mango puree to the gelatin mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Heat Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a pot and gently heat it over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves, making sure the mixture does not boil, as boiling can affect the texture of the jelly.
- Pour and Set: Pour the dissolved gelatin mango mixture into serving bowls or molds of your choice. Allow the pudding to cool briefly at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 6 hours or overnight until it is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Serve the chilled mango pudding as is or drizzle with evaporated milk or coconut milk for extra creaminess and flavor enhancement.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar agar powder and use coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
- Ensure the mangoes are fully ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Do not boil the mixture after adding gelatin as it can prevent proper setting.
- Straining the mango puree ensures a smoother pudding texture.
- The pudding can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
