Equipment

Ingredients

For the Puddings

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon (about 9 grams) powdered gelatin
  • 16 ounces (about 3-4 small or 1 large) mangoes peeled, flesh removed from the pit/stone, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup coconut milk full-fat or lite
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Garnish (optional)

  • Lightly sweetened whipped cream or coconut milk to drizzle
  • Lime zest
  • Finely diced mango
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Place the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften, or "bloom."
  • Add the diced mango and lime zest to a blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If you are using a more fibrous type of mango, you may want to press the purée through a fine-mesh strainer for a smooth pudding.
  • Place the mango purée, coconut milk, sugar, and "bloomed" gelatin in a small saucepan. Warm the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly, until the sugar and gelatin have dissolved. DO NOT BRING THE MIXTURE TO A BOIL. (The gelatin mixture will appear lumpy, but it will dissolve.)
  • Remove from the heat, then divide it into small ramekins or dessert glasses. Transfer the puddings to the refrigerator until they are set, at least 2 hours.e mixture among
  • Served chilled with a spoonful of coconut milk or lightly sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with lime zest mint and finely diced mango. Enjoy!

Notes

Mango pudding can be made and kept refrigerated up to two days in advance.
16 ounces of mango is approximately 3-4 of a smaller variety or 1 large of a standard variety.
