Instructions

Prep Mangos: Peel, pit, and dice the ripe mangoes. Blend the diced mangoes until smooth to create a fresh mango puree.
Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over cold water and let it sit for 30-45 seconds until it softens and blooms.
Combine Mix: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the bloomed gelatin, granulated sugar, coconut milk, and mango puree until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Heat Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until small bubbles appear around the edges and the gelatin fully dissolves, about 4-5 minutes. Do not boil.
Pour & Chill: Transfer the heated mixture into serving bowls or molds. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until the pudding is fully set and firm.

Notes

The ripeness of mangoes affects the pudding’s sweetness; feel free to adjust sugar accordingly.
For a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar agar powder and follow package instructions for blooming and dissolving.
Coconut milk imparts a rich, tropical flavor, but evaporated milk makes the pudding lighter.
Ensure the mixture does not boil when heating, to preserve gelatin’s setting properties.
Chilling time is essential for pudding to set properly; do not rush this step.
