When you need a tropical dessert, this 6-ingredient easy mango pudding recipe hits the spot. Sweet mango and creamy coconut milk make it fresh and fruity. It's silky, smooth, and perfect for a make-ahead summer treat.
Peel, pit, and cut the mangos into small pieces. Blend on high for at least 1 minute until very smooth with no fibrous texture, scraping down the sides as needed.
In a large bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin and stir for 30-45 seconds until thick and gel-like. A slight smell is normal and will disappear once combined with the other ingredients.
Add the sugar, coconut milk, and mango purée to the gelatin mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a small pot and warm over low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until the gelatin fully dissolves. Do not simmer or boil.
Pour into 4 small dessert bowls or greased silicone molds set on a baking sheet. Tap lightly to release air bubbles, smooth the surface with a spatula, and cover with plastic wrap. If using dessert bowls, make sure the plastic wrap doesn't touch the pudding.
Refrigerate for 6 hours or until fully set. If using molds, gently release the pudding and transfer to a serving plate. Serve chilled with evaporated milk.
