Mango Pudding

Step 1

First rinse and then peel 2 medium sized mangoes. Chop them and add in a mixer or blender jar. Do use ripe and sweet mangoes.

Step 2

Then add 3 tablespoons sugar to the mixer or blender. Sugar can be added less or more depending on the sweetness of mangoes.

Step 3

Blend till smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small pan, take 2 tablespoons chopped agar agar strands. Do chop the strands as small as possible with scissors. Long strands are difficult to dissolve.

Step 5

Add ⅓ cup water.

Step 6

Keep the pan on low to medium-low heat.

Step 7

Gently begin to heat this agar agar+water mixture. Keep on stirring at intervals.

Step 8

Let the solution come to a boil. When the solution is boiling, keep on stirring so that the strands are dissolved properly in the water.

Step 9

Once the strands have dissolved in the water then you will see a smooth jelly like liquid.

Step 10

Wait for 20 seconds and then add the agar agar solution in the jar containing the mango puree. Scrape off the agar agar solution from the sides and add this also.

Step 11

Add ¾ cup thick coconut milk.

Step 12

Blend again till smooth.

Step 13

Pour the pudding mixture in bowls. Level the top layer of the pudding with a spatula to make it even.

Step 14

Cover the bowls with a lid or seal with aluminum foil. Refrigerate and let the pudding set for 4 to 5 hours or overnight.

Step 15

Serve mango pudding chilled as a dessert. While serving, you can add some berries, dry fruits or mango cubes on top.
