Description
This creamy mango pudding is a smooth, refreshing no-bake dessert packed with tropical mango flavor. Made with ripe mango pulp, milk, cream, and gelatin, it has a silky texture that melts in your mouth and is perfect for warm days, family dinners, or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango pulp (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen mango blended smooth)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh mango cubes for garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the gelatin blooms and becomes thick.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add the milk and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not allow the milk to boil.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm milk mixture. Stir well until the gelatin fully dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango pulp and vanilla extract. Slowly pour in the milk and gelatin mixture while whisking gently.
- In another chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until slightly thick and creamy. Avoid whipping to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the mango mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the pudding mixture evenly into serving glasses, ramekins, or a large dessert dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mango cubes or mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the mango pulp used.
- Do not boil the milk after adding gelatin, as excessive heat may affect the setting process.
- Whip the cream only until slightly thickened for a smooth pudding texture.
- Canned mango pulp may already contain sugar, so taste before adding extra sugar.
- Agar-agar can be used instead of gelatin for a vegetarian version, though the texture may be firmer.
- Keep the pudding chilled until serving for the best consistency.
