Introduction:

Mango pudding is a delightful and refreshing dessert that perfectly captures the essence of tropical flavors. Made with luscious ripe mangoes, this creamy and velvety treat is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. In this blog post, I'll guide you through an easy-to-follow recipe for making mango pudding that will leave your taste buds wanting more!

Ingredients:

- 2 large ripe mangoes (about 2 cups of mango pulp)

- 1 cup whole milk

- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

- 1/4 cup water

- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Fresh mango slices or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mangoes:

   - Choose ripe mangoes with a fragrant aroma and soft flesh. Wash them thoroughly and peel the skin.

   - Cut the mangoes into small pieces and discard the pit.

2. Puree the Mangoes:

   - Place the mango pieces in a blender or food processor and blend until you get a smooth and creamy mango puree. Set aside.

3. Bloom the Gelatin:

   - In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. The gelatin will become soft and spongy.

4. Heat the Milk and Sugar:

   - In a saucepan, pour the milk and add the granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

5. Add the Gelatin:

   - Once the sugar has dissolved, add the bloomed gelatin to the milk-sugar mixture. Stir gently until the gelatin completely dissolves. Remove the saucepan from heat.

6. Combine the Mango Puree:

   - Pour the mango puree into the saucepan with the milk and gelatin mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

7. Add the Cream and Vanilla:

   - Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the mango-milk mixture. Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth and consistent texture.

8. Pour into Molds:

   - Lightly grease individual pudding molds or a large glass dish with cooking spray or oil. This will help in easy removal later.

   - Carefully pour the mango pudding mixture into the molds or the glass dish.

9. Chill and Set:

   - Place the molds or dish in the refrigerator and let the mango pudding set for at least 3 to 4 hours or until it becomes firm.

10. Garnish and Serve:

    - Once the mango pudding is set, remove it from the refrigerator.

    - If using individual molds, gently unmold the puddings onto serving plates. If using a glass dish, simply scoop the pudding into dessert bowls.

    - Garnish the mango pudding with fresh mango slices or a sprig of mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.

    - Serve the chilled mango pudding as a delightful and refreshing dessert to your family and friends.

Enjoy your homemade mango pudding and indulge in the tropical goodness! The creamy texture and natural sweetness of the mangoes will surely make this dessert a memorable treat for everyone. Feel free to experiment with toppings like toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of honey for added flair. Happy cooking and savoring the flavors of the exotic mango paradise!
