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!
Instructions
-
Soak gelatin sheets in cold water until soft. In a small pot, dissolve sugar in clean water. Then heat the water temperature among 50 degree C to 70 degree C, place Gleatine in. Stir until dissolved.
- Add the liquid to fresh mango cubes, blend until very smooth.
- Add milk and cream. Mix well.
- Divide into 4 containers. Chill until firmed (takes 2 to 4 hours)

Hi Amy,
Thanks so much for your sweet words. Happy cooking in your kitchen!
This is our family’s (especially kids’) favorite dessert! My son is CRAZY about mango… His birthday is in 2 days.. I should really make this for him!
I eat a lot of pudding in summer days and I figure that I love mango pudding the most. Give your lovely son a hug for me and wish him happy birthday. My daughter is just in the corner too.
Hi, I am about to make this recipe but wanted to check which one you prefer to use milk or coconut milk for your recipe?
Hi Karen,
Both milk and coconut milk can work for this recipe. Traditionally we use milk.
Elaine, have your recipes compiled in a book. Or you have one already?
No Kak,
I have not compiled the recipes in a book. But I will consider the suggestions and make different collections.
Elaine, how much cold water to use for soaking the gelatin in step 1?
Hi Lily,
It depends on your container. Just make sure the gelatin is well covered. We do not use the water for soaking.
Hi. Is it pudding a creamy pudding or like a jelly- jello type of puddinh? Thank you very much
It’s a mixture of both, in my experience, this type of pudding isn’t like the traditional American pudding, it’s definitely firmer. However, I, personally love this mango pudding recipe so I would try it 🙂
Hi,
You have milk in step 1 and step 2. How much of the 160ml of milk is used in step 1 and 2? Thank you!
Thanks Caitlin for pointing that out. You can simple divide milk into two equal halves. Use one half of the milk to blend mango and the left half for heating.
This sounds easy and delicious.In this mango season,I want to try this mango pudding.
I am wondering….can I use OTHER fruits? cherries for example? or peaches, instead? I love mango, but wanted to make this as versatile as possible. thank you so much
Sure, other fruit like blueberry and peach can work.
This is a delicious and light dessert. But wow, it only yields 4 small servings. I feel like that’s a lot of mango for such a small amount of pudding. I don’t think there’s anything you can do about that though, without diluting the taste. It is what it is. Unfortunately I doubt I will be making this again because it yields such a small amount, not good for a crowd of people. I have a big family. It will have to be a rare special treat.
