Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) ripe mangos
- 1.5 tbsps (22.5 g) white granulated sugar
- 1.5 tbsps (13.5 g) gelatin
- 0.54 cups (128 mL) full-fat coconut milk
- 4 tbsps (60 mL) evaporated milk
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) cold water
Instructions
- Mango Preparation: Carefully extract and cube ripe mangoes into uniform 1/2-inch pieces, creating a foundational tropical base.
- Puree Creation: Transform mango cubes into a velvety smooth mixture using a food processor, processing until no solid fragments remain. Optional: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate any fibrous textures.
- Gelatin Activation: Combine room temperature water with gelatin powder, stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes slightly translucent, creating a stable binding agent.
- Liquid Fusion: Incorporate granulated sugar and coconut milk into the gelatin base, whisking continuously to ensure a completely uniform liquid without sugar crystals.
- Flavor Integration: Blend mango puree into the gelatin mixture, creating a consistent, creamy texture with no ingredient separation or color variations.
- Gentle Heating: Transfer the combined mixture to a medium saucepan, warming over low heat while stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes to dissolve gelatin completely without boiling.
- Setting Process: Pour the pudding mixture into serving vessels, tapping gently to release air bubbles, then refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight until achieving a perfect wobbling consistency.
- Final Presentation: Enhance the dessert with a delicate coconut milk drizzle or fresh mango slices, elevating both visual appeal and tropical flavor profile.
Notes
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Mangoes: Select mangoes that yield slightly when gently pressed, with a sweet aroma and vibrant orange-yellow color to guarantee maximum flavor and smoothness.
- Strain for Silky Texture: Passing the mango puree through a fine-mesh strainer removes fibrous strings, creating an ultra-smooth, luxurious pudding consistency that melts in your mouth.
- Control Gelatin Activation: Mix gelatin with room temperature water precisely to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution, which is crucial for achieving the perfect pudding set.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Allowing the pudding to set overnight not only helps it firm up but also lets the tropical flavors meld and intensify, creating a more complex and delicious dessert.
