Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced, about 2 cups)
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- ¼ cup hot water
For Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh mango cubes
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in the hot water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. This step ensures the gelatin activates properly for setting the pudding.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the diced mango, whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Blend the mixture until completely smooth for a creamy pudding base without any lumps.
- Incorporate Gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin into the blender with the mango mixture and blend again until the gelatin is fully incorporated evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the blended mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each pudding cup with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes work best for a rich, sweet flavor.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute coconut milk and coconut cream for milk and cream.
- You can pour the pudding into molds for a firmer, unmolded presentation.
