Make a Chinese restaurant-style dessert using this 6-ingredient easy mango pudding recipe. Bursting with sweet mango and creamy coconut flavor, this refreshing treat is blended quickly and left to chill to perfection. It is a foolproof, make-ahead dessert option that frees you up to enjoy your party.
Peel, pit, and slice mangoes into small pieces. Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend into a very smooth purée, at least 1 minute, until no fibrous texture remains. For an extra-smooth result, strain the purée through a fine sieve.
In a large bowl, combine cold water and gelatin. Stir for 30-45 seconds until it thickens. The mixture will become gel-like and may have a slight smell; this is normal and will disappear once combined with the other ingredients.
Add the sugar, coconut milk, and mango purée to the gelatin mixture. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a small pot. Warm over low-medium heat, whisking continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to simmer or boil; it should remain smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into four greased serving bowls or silicone molds. Tap lightly to release air bubbles and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, if desired.
Refrigerate for 6 hours, or until fully set. Serve chilled with evaporated milk.
