A quick and easy creamy mango pudding that blends fresh mango puree with cream and gelatin for a luscious tropical dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon (about 9 g) gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 2 large ripe mangoes. Place them in a blender and puree until smooth, about 1 1/2 cups (350 ml) of mango puree. Set aside.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (9 g) gelatin powder over 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Warm 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling (about 160°F or 71°C). Remove from heat, add the bloomed gelatin, and stir until completely dissolved.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream and 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Do not whip.
  5. Slowly pour the warm milk-gelatin mixture into the cream mixture, whisking constantly. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Stir in the mango puree gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly into 4-6 serving glasses or ramekins. Tap gently to remove air bubbles. Optionally add small chunks of fresh mango for texture.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the pudding is firm but creamy. Minimum 2 hours if pressed for time.
  8. Just before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, or fresh mint leaves. Serve chilled.

Notes

Do not boil the milk when dissolving gelatin to ensure proper setting. Bloom gelatin thoroughly before use. Use ripe mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for best flavor. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk and use agar-agar instead of gelatin. Chill pudding for at least 4 hours for best texture. Avoid over-whipping cream and sugar mixture.
