To make this delicious mango pudding, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups ripe mango puree (about 2-3 medium mangoes)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup mixed nuts (chopped, such as almonds and cashews)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

How to Make Mango Pudding with Crunchy Topping

Follow these simple steps to create your mango pudding:

1. Start by preparing the mango puree. Peel and chop the ripe mangoes, then blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth. Measure out 2 cups and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
4. Once the coconut milk mixture is warm (but not boiling), remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
5. Add the mango puree to the coconut mixture and stir until well combined.
6. Pour the mango pudding mixture into serving cups or a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. While the pudding is chilling, prepare the crunchy topping. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and salt. Mix until all the oats and nuts are coated.
8. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir halfway through to ensure even toasting.
9. Remove the crunchy topping from the oven and let it cool completely.
10. Once the pudding has set, top each serving with the crunchy oat mixture just before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a smoother pudding, blend the mangoes until completely pureed, ensuring there are no lumps.
• Adjust the sweetness of the pudding based on the ripeness of the mangoes. Taste the puree before adding sugar.
• Be careful not to let the coconut milk mixture boil, as this can affect the gelatin’s setting ability.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the coconut milk with regular milk or a dairy-free alternative for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of lime juice to the mango puree for a tangy twist.
• Incorporate a layer of fresh fruit between the pudding and the topping for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

Consider pairing your mango pudding with these delightful options:

• Fresh berries for a burst of color and flavor.
• A scoop of coconut sorbet for a tropical touch.
• Mint leaves for garnish, adding a refreshing note.
• Whipped cream for extra creaminess.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover mango pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the crunchy topping separately in an airtight container to maintain its crunch. Refrain from reheating the pudding, as it is best served chilled.
