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 powder (or 1.5 tsp agar agar powder for vegan version)
  • 1.5 tbsp white granulated sugar
  • 0.54 cups full-fat coconut milk (can substitute with evaporated milk, heavy cream, or evaporated coconut milk)
  • 4 tbsp evaporated milk or coconut milk for vegan version (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Ripe Mango Puree: Transfer the peeled, pitted, and diced mango chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. For an extra silky texture, strain the mango puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fiber or pulp.
  2. Gelatin Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the cold water with gelatin powder (or agar agar powder for a vegan alternative) and allow it to bloom for a few minutes. Once gelatin is hydrated, add sugar, coconut milk, and the mango puree to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  3. Heat Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a pot and gently heat over low-medium heat, stirring continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as high heat can affect the gelatin’s setting ability and alter the texture.
  4. Set Pudding: Once the gelatin has dissolved and mixture is smooth, pour it evenly into serving bowls or molds. Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set firmly and develop a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve: When ready to serve, optionally drizzle evaporated milk or coconut milk over the pudding for extra creaminess and flavor. Enjoy this refreshing mango pudding chilled.

Notes

  • For a vegan-friendly version, substitute gelatin with agar agar powder and use coconut milk instead of dairy-based milk.
  • Straining the mango puree helps create a smoother, more refined texture.
  • Do not boil the gelatin mixture as it can prevent proper setting of the pudding.
  • You can adjust the sugar level depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.
  • If mangoes are not in season, frozen mango chunks can be used but may slightly alter texture.
