Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe mango chunks (about 2 large mangoes)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh mango (optional)
  • 1/4 cup coconut whipped cream (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the mango chunks in a blender and blend until completely smooth to make a mango puree.
  2. In a small bowl, add the cold water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar, and salt. Whisk for about 1 minute until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Add the mango puree to the saucepan and whisk until fully combined. Heat for about 2 minutes until warm but not boiling.
  5. Slowly pour the warm mango mixture into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin while whisking continuously until the gelatin dissolves.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into four small bowls or ramekins.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the pudding is fully set.
  8. Before serving, top with diced mango, coconut whipped cream, or coconut flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Honey can replace coconut sugar for a slightly different sweetness.
  • Add 2 tablespoons coconut cream for a richer and creamier pudding.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice for a bright citrus flavor.
  • Create layered desserts by adding diced mango between two layers of pudding.
  • Blend in pineapple or passion fruit with the mango for a tropical variation.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Let the pudding sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving if it becomes too firm.
