Making your own Mango Pudding can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Mangoes: Peel the ripe mangoes and chop them into small pieces. Blend them until you achieve a smooth puree.
- Mix Gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes spongy.
- Heat the Mixture: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but do not let it boil.
- Add Gelatin: Once warm, remove the saucepan from heat. Add the soaked gelatin to the warm milk mixture, stirring well until fully dissolved.
- Combine with Mango Puree: Mix in the smooth mango puree and the vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour into Molds: Pour the mixture into individual dessert cups or molds. Tap gently to remove any air bubbles.
- Chill: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1 hour until set.
- Unmold (if using molds): Once set, remove the pudding from the molds by dipping the bottoms in hot water for a few seconds. Invert on a plate to release.
- Garnish: Top with fresh mango slices and mint leaves if desired before serving.
These steps provide a clear pathway to recreate this vibrant Mango Pudding in your kitchen.
