Description
This coconut mango pudding is a creamy, tropical dessert combining rich coconut milk with sweet mango for a smooth and refreshing treat. It’s easy to prepare and perfect served chilled.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup diced fresh mango (optional garnish)
- 2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut (optional garnish)
- 6 mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Blend the diced mango until completely smooth to make a puree and set aside.
- In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk, then add the coconut milk and mix until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 6–8 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and mango puree until well combined.
- Return to low heat and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring gently, without boiling.
- Pour the pudding into serving glasses or ramekins.
- Let cool at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours until set.
- Garnish with diced mango, toasted coconut, and mint before serving if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Whisk constantly to prevent lumps during cooking.
- For a dairy-free version, replace whole milk with more coconut milk.
- Add lime zest for a brighter, citrusy flavor.
- Do not boil after adding mango to maintain a smooth texture.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and serve chilled.
