Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) ripe mangos
Dairy and Liquid Components:
- 0.54 cups (128 milliliters) full-fat coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cold water
Sweeteners and Thickeners:
- 1.5 tablespoons (22.5 grams) white granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons (13.5 grams) gelatin
Instructions
- Carefully slice and remove the pit from ripe mangoes, then cube them into uniform small pieces measuring approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters).
- Transform the mango cubes into a silky puree using a high-powered food processor or blender, processing for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth.
- Optional refinement involves passing the mango puree through a fine-mesh strainer to eliminate any lingering fibrous textures, ensuring ultimate smoothness.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine room temperature water with unflavored gelatin powder, gently stirring for 45-60 seconds until the mixture begins to thicken and become slightly opaque.
- Gradually fold granulated sugar and rich coconut milk into the gelatin base, whisking continuously to create a homogeneous liquid with no visible sugar crystals.
- Add the prepared mango puree to the gelatin mixture, blending thoroughly until a consistent, creamy texture emerges with no color or ingredient separation.
- Transfer the combined liquid to a medium saucepan, warming over low heat while stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes, ensuring the gelatin dissolves completely without reaching a boiling temperature.
- Distribute the pudding mixture evenly into individual serving vessels, gently tapping to release any trapped air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
- Refrigerate the prepared pudding for 6-8 hours or preferably overnight, allowing it to set firmly and develop a perfect wobbling consistency.
- Before serving, garnish with a light drizzle of coconut milk or fresh mango slices for an elegant presentation and enhanced tropical flavor profile.
Notes
- Chilling overnight transforms this pudding into a velvety, luxurious dessert that melts smoothly on your tongue.
- Straining mango puree ensures an incredibly silky texture without annoying fiber interruptions.
- Gelatin acts like magic, helping the pudding set perfectly with a gentle, wobbling consistency.
