A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring creamy coconut milk and fresh mango puree, perfect for summer parties and warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) mango pulp or frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) gelatin powder (or agar-agar powder for vegan alternative)
  • ½ cup (100g) sugar (organic cane sugar preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (10g) of gelatin powder over 1 cup (240ml) of cold water in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until it swells and looks like jelly.
  2. While gelatin blooms, add 2 cups (300g) of mango chunks to your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  3. Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat, stirring constantly until completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil! Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) of full-fat coconut milk and ½ cup (100g) sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  5. Slowly pour the warm gelatin mixture into the coconut milk and sugar mixture, whisking constantly to incorporate fully.
  6. Stir in the mango puree and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. Mix until smooth and even in color.
  7. Distribute the mixture evenly into 6-8 small cups or mason jars. Tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm but jiggly.
  9. Just before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for a delightful crunch and pretty presentation.

Notes

Do not boil gelatin as it loses its setting power. Bloom gelatin properly in cold water before warming. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Adjust sugar based on mango sweetness. Chill pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. For vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar and sugar with maple syrup or honey. Avoid freezing pudding as it alters texture.
