Description
Coconut Mango Pudding is a creamy, tropical dessert that combines the smoothness of coconut milk with the vibrant sweetness of ripe mangoes. It’s a refreshing and indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- For the coconut pudding:
1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut cream (for extra richness, optional)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the mango topping:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
Instructions
For the Coconut Pudding:
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, coconut cream (if using), sugar, and salt. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.
- Thicken the Pudding:
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Gradually add the slurry to the coconut mixture, whisking constantly. - Cook the Pudding:
Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. - Cool the Pudding:
Pour pudding into serving dishes, cool for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to set. - For the Mango Topping:
Peel and dice mangoes. Combine mango, honey/maple syrup, and lime juice (optional). Allow mixture to sit and marinate for a few minutes. - Assemble the Pudding:
Once the pudding is chilled, top each serving with the mango mixture. - Serve:
Serve immediately or chill for another 30 minutes. Optionally garnish with mint or toasted coconut.
Notes
- Use frozen mango if fresh is unavailable—just thaw and drain it.
- For added sweetness, adjust the sugar in the pudding or the honey/maple syrup in the topping.
- If desired, make the pudding a day ahead and top with mango just before serving.
