Mango Pudding

Mango pudding is a popular dessert that originated in Hong Kong and is now enjoyed in many parts of the world. It is known for its smooth, creamy texture and rich mango flavor. Mango pudding is often served in dim sum restaurants and is a favorite among both children and adults.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of mango pudding include fresh mango puree, gelatin, sugar, and evaporated milk. Some variations may use coconut milk or cream to enhance the flavor and texture. The choice of mango is crucial, as ripe and sweet mangoes contribute significantly to the taste of the pudding.

Preparation

To prepare mango pudding, ripe mangoes are peeled and pureed until smooth. The puree is then mixed with sugar and heated gently to dissolve the sugar. Gelatin is dissolved in hot water and added to the mango mixture. Once the mixture is well combined, evaporated milk is stirred in to create a creamy consistency. The mixture is poured into molds and chilled until set.

Serving

Mango pudding is typically served chilled and can be garnished with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves. It is often presented in small bowls or cups, making it easy to serve as a single portion dessert.

Variations

There are several variations of mango pudding, including:

Coconut Mango Pudding: Uses coconut milk instead of evaporated milk for a tropical twist.
Vegan Mango Pudding: Made with agar-agar instead of gelatin and uses plant-based milk.
Mango Sago Pudding: Includes sago pearls for added texture.
