Another summer comforting and creamy mango pudding. I am stuck in my city this year because of the travel limitation order from my daughter's school. So the 40 degree C days are quite hard to survive. Then you will find that I got lots of puddings, jelly and salads made in previous weeks. Among all of these pudding, I love this version so much because it is much stronger in flavor.
This mango pudding is quite popular in Chinese dessert shops where lots of yummy and interesting dishes are served for example this sticky rice balls over mango smoothie, red bean soup and nuomici. I am not a sweet tooth, but I just love sweet dessert in those sun-shinning days. In the dessert shop, they are all packaged in a collection with smaller amounts.
I will introduce a mango jelly version soon using agar agar. Comparing with agar agar with creating a fragile crispy texture, the texture of gelatin dessert is so smooth!

Can I use unflavored gelatin powder if I can’t get sheets?
Elaine
Yes. Sure.
Minh
I couldn’t find gelatine sheets, but used 6 McKenzie’s gelatine leaves (10g) instead. Worked perfectly and the end product was a refreshing and delicious summer dessert. Thank you for the idea.
Elaine
Thanks Minh for your lovely feedback. I still can recall the deliciousness even in the cold winter days.

How long would these last in the fridge? I want to make them for a party for about 20 people but don't want to make it on the day off as I'm making many other things.
Elaine
Up to 24 hours.
Tasha
How long can these stay in the fridge? Looking to make ahead for a dinner party

Lina
can I know what cream did you use?
Elaine
I use whipping cream. Light cream also works.
Lina
for milk, do you use fresh milk or full cream milk?
Elaine
Fresh milk.

If using powder do you still use the one cup of water for the powder and then pour that into the ingredients when you add the mango?
