Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp stevia or sugar free sweetener of choice
- Juice from 1 lime
- Zest from 1 lime
Garnish
- Coconut whip
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Puree the fresh mango in a blender until smooth and free of lumps, creating a silky base for the pudding.
- Mix Cornstarch and Lime Juice: In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the lime juice and set it aside; this helps prevent lumps when adding to the hot mixture.
- Heat the Base Mixture: Pour the mango puree, coconut milk, sweetener, and lime zest into a pan and heat over medium heat until you see gentle bubbling, indicating it’s ready for thickening.
- Thicken the Pudding: Slowly drizzle in the cornstarch and lime juice mixture while continuously stirring. The pudding will thicken within approximately 2 minutes. When it thickly coats your spatula, immediately remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator to firm up. Once chilled, garnish with a dollop of coconut whip before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the sweetener amount according to your taste preference.
- Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent and should be mixed with lime juice to prevent clumping.
- For a creamier pudding, ensure you use full-fat coconut milk.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days.
