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:
- 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.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the coconut milk mixture is warm (but not boiling), remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
- Add the mango puree to the coconut mixture and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mango pudding mixture into serving cups or a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the crunchy topping from the oven and let it cool completely.
- 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.
