Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Fresh mint leaves
- Mango slices
Instructions
- Puree the mangoes: Place the peeled and cubed mangoes in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy to create the mango puree base for the pudding.
- Dissolve the gelatin: In a small bowl, mix the unflavored gelatin powder with hot water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth texture in the final pudding.
- Heat milk mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed but not boiling to avoid curdling.
- Add gelatin to milk mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin thoroughly to incorporate it evenly throughout the mixture.
- Combine mango and flavoring: Add the prepared mango puree and vanilla extract to the milk and gelatin mixture. Whisk well until all ingredients are smoothly combined, resulting in a creamy pudding mixture.
- Pour into molds and chill: Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set and firm.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish each pudding with fresh mango slices and mint leaves to enhance both appearance and flavor, providing a fresh finish.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, substitute whole milk with coconut milk to add extra flavor and richness.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the natural sweetness of your mangoes for desired sweetness.
- If you prefer a firmer pudding texture, increase the amount of gelatin slightly.
