Instructions

Place gelatin and water in a small bowl and whisk for 30 seconds to combine.

Add sugar, if desired.

Whisk in coconut milk, followed by the mangos. (if using fresh mangos, puree them first, if using frozen, they will cook down in the next step.)

Transfer to a small pot and place over medium-low heat.

Whisk for 4-5 minutes until gelatin is melted and mangoes are cooked down.

Pour into individual serving dishes.

Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, until set.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Ripe Mangoes Strategically 🥭
Select mangoes that yield slightly to pressure and have a fragrant aroma at the stem end. Overripe mangoes create a mushier pudding, while underripe ones won't deliver the tropical sweetness and smooth texture you need.
Bloom Gelatin Properly for Silky Texture 💧
Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes before dissolving to ensure even hydration and prevent lumps that create a grainy pudding texture instead of that luxurious creamy consistency.
Chill at Stages for Perfect Set ❄️
Refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours until it reaches a gel-like consistency before folding in whipped cream or toppings, rather than waiting until fully set, which prevents separation and ensures even distribution.
Balance Coconut Milk Richness 🥥
Use full-fat coconut milk but thin it slightly with the water measurement to prevent the pudding from being overly heavy while maintaining that creamy, tropical mouthfeel that defines this dessert.
Strain Mango Puree for Silkiness ✨
Press fresh mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous strands, creating an impossibly smooth pudding rather than one with a slightly grainy or chunky texture.
