Ingredients

12 oz mangos that are fresh, fully ripe and tender. Do not use unripe mangos or canned mangos!
0.54 cups coconut milk full-fat kind or sub with evaporated milk, heavy cream or evaporated coconut milk
2 tablespoon water cold
1.5 tablespoon white granulated sugar
1.5 tablespoon gelatin powder

Serve with:

4 tablespoon Evaporated milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version

Instructions

Peel, pit and slice fully ripened mangoes into small pieces. Transfer mango pieces to a blender or food processor. Blend into a very smooth purée, at least 1 minute. This needs to be very smooth in order to break up the mango fibers. Tip: For extra smooth pudding, run the mango puree through a fine sieve.
In a large bowl, add cold water and gelatin. Mix for 30-45 seconds to thicken. (Don't panic if the gelatin thickens into a gel like substance, this is normal. It will also have a slight smell, but this will disappear once combined with other ingredients).
To the gelatin mixture, add white sugar, coconut milk, and puréed mango. Give it a stir until smooth and well combined.
Transfer mango mixture to a small pot. On medium-low heat, whisk until gelatin has melted and fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. The mixture should be completely smooth with a creamy texture. Do not bring pudding mixture to a simmer/boil or have it bubbling!
Pour mixture into four greased serving bowls or silicone molds. If needed, poke out any air bubbles on the surface and smooth out the top with a spatula. Optional: cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until it sets. Serve chilled with evaporated milk.
