Mango Pudding

The mango season is here and I just cannot resist buying a few every time I visit the supermarket. The wonderful aroma of ripe mangoes, just draws me towards them. I really miss the Alphonso mangoes though, nothing compares to its taste but hey, something is better than nothing and I'm determined to enjoy the fruit as long as its in season. 

The last batch of mangoes I bought were the best so far, they were bright yellow, juicy and so sweet, a pudding seemed like a great idea. After hunting for a while, I found this recipe at Flavor Explosions.

The pudding was a delight, tasted heavenly. The recipe was quick n easy and I didn't make any changes, but here it is anyway. Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of your mangoes. I used fat-free evaporated milk and I think it could do with a little less amount of gelatin than mentioned for a better texture, so I've made the change below. Everything else was just perfect, I'm definitely gonna be making this often. The below recipe would make about 10 servings.

Mango Pudding

Ingredients:

1 cup water at room temperature

2 1/2 tbs unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup chopped mangoes

whipped cream, mango slices for topping

Method:

Take the water in a big bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over it and let it rest for 5 mins.

Double boil till the gelatin has melted and the mixture is transparent.

Add the sugar and stir till melted.

Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the evaporated milk and mango puree.

Gently stir in the chopped mangoes.

Pour into wet serving bowls and refrigerate for 2 hrs or till set.
