The Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 yellow and ripe mangoes (makes 1 cup mango puree)
- ¾ cup boiling water (to mix with gelatin)
- ½ cup coconut milk or half & half
- 1 tablespoon condensed milk
- ½ to 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust accordingly to how sweet your mangoes are!)
- 2½ teaspoons gelatin (that’s about one pack of Knox gelatin)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Prep Your Gelatin
First things first, let’s get that gelatin mixed up. Boil the water and then pour ¾ cup boiling water into a bowl with 2½ teaspoons of gelatin. Stir it up until it’s all dissolved and perfect. It’s super important to use boiling water here; that’s the magic trick to get it fully dissolved. Set that aside and wait for it to cool a bit.
Step 2: Mango Puree Time
Now, onto the star of the show: the mangoes! Carefully peel and pit your 2 beautiful, ripe mangoes. It’s all about that vibrant yellow fruit here! Slice them up, toss them in a blender, and blend until smooth. You want that purée to be as silky as can be. If you can’t find sweet yellow mangoes, feel free to use other ripe varieties. Just make sure they’re sweet enough so you don’t have to add too much sugar later on!
Step 3: Mix It All Together
Now it’s time to bring it all together! In a medium pot (because we can keep it all in one pot!), combine your ½ cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of condensed milk, and your ½ tablespoon of sugar (but remember, taste as you go!). Once you’ve got that in there, add the gelatin mixture from Step 1. Stir frequently while you heat this on low until it just begins to simmer, no boiling yet, okay? This will take about 3-5 minutes, and trust me, the smells are going to be mouthwatering!
Step 4: Make Adjustments
Here’s where you get to play chef! Give it a taste test. If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, adjust by adding more sugar or a drizzle of honey. The sweetness will totally depend on how ripe your mangoes are, so be sure to tailor it to your preference. If you have any extra mango, chop it into tiny pieces and add them right into the pudding mix for some extra chunks of fruity goodness!
Step 5: Pour and Chill
Once everything is mixed up and tasting just right, pour the lovely mango mixture into small bowls (or cups if you want to get fancy!). Pop those in the refrigerator to chill, ideally overnight. But hey, if you can’t wait that long, just a few hours will do!
Step 6: It’s Serving Time!
When you’re ready to serve (or after a long wait, if you have the patience!), drizzle some condensed milk over the top and maybe toss on more mango chunks because, why not? Your dessert is creamy, dreamy, and absolutely stunning!
