This is the second mango pudding recipe that I have shared. The first one I shared uses fresh mango. Unfortunately, mangos are not available all year round here in Vancouver.
The difference with this recipe is that it uses canned mango pulp, which can be bought at any grocery store that sells Indian food. I bought mine from the Real Canadian Superstore here in Vancouver. I got this recipe from my friend who gave it to me after she brought some over during the holidays. My friend uses diced peaches in her recipe, but diced fresh mangoes may be used also. I ended up using diced mangoes and peaches. The great thing about adding these diced fruits into the pudding is that it adds a different texture.
My sons ended up loving this wonderful dessert so much. They simply could not get enough!
- 1 (850g) can mango pulp (Kesar or Alphonso)
- 3 cups whipping cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 sachets ( 7 grams each) of Knox unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup hot water
- 4 (450 ml) bowls of diced peaches and mangoes, drained or 1 cup diced fresh mangoes
- Evaporated milk (optional)
- In a medium pan, heat mango pulp and cream over medium heat. Add sugar; stir until sugar dissolves.
- Completely dissolve gelatin powder in hot water and then add to the mixture in the pan, whisking until well combined. Remove from heat.
- Arrange diced mangoes evenly at bottom of 8X12 inch-pan or 8X8 inch-pan and 6 (6 oz) ramekins. Pour gelatin-milk-mango mixture over the diced mangoes in the pan and ramekins, if using. Allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve with evaporated milk, if desired.
Is it ok to make it a day before serving
Hi Teresa,
Yes, you can make this mango pudding recipe ahead of time. Store them in the fridge and serve as needed. Hope this helps!
How long would it last for in the fridge? 3-5 days?
Hi!
I usually keep them in the fridge and use it up before 5 days.
Hi Lisa
I like your recipe but I’m looking for a mango pudding recipe without using gelatin or agar agar. Do you have any ideas?
Hi Saffonda,
Sorry all mango pudding recipes that I know have either gelatin or agar agar.
Hi Liza can I use agar agar instead of gelatin for the recipe?
I have not used agar agar to make mango pudding but I heard it can be used as a substitute for gelatin. Make sure to use the right ratio though.
How do I use the evaporated milk thanks
Hi Riley,
When ready to serve, you drizzle evaporated milk on top of the mango pudding.
Hi Liza, I want to try this recipe for thanksgiving dinner. Can I substitute whipping cream with coconut milk?
Hi Achel,
It should be okay to use coconut milk instead of whipping cream. I have seen other recipes that use coconut milk for this recipe. Take care and happy thanksgiving!
Thanks for the quick response Liza. Happy thanksgiving to you too! By the way, in your experience, brand of mango pulp is better? Kesar or Alphonso?
Based on m experience, either one is okay.
Hi Liza, thank u fir ur recepi, could u please tell the amount of gelatine in gr???
Hi Neda,
I used 6 sachets ( 7 grams each) of Knox unflavored gelatin for this recipe. Hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is a big hit when I bring to parties. Most of all, it is so easy & fast the make! Thank you very much!
You’re welcome Athena!
6 packets of Knox gelatin was a lot when I used this recipe but substituted with half & half cream. I knocked it back to 5 packets and it could probably even be pushed back to 4. Not entirely sure if this is because of the fat content or not. Otherwise, wonderful recipe and I will be using it from now on when I need to make mango pudding. I make a batch and it disappears by the next day.
Was wondering if I can substitute buttermilk with whipping cream since I have this in my fridge.
Hi Rohini,
Sorry but I have not used buttermilk in making mango pudding before. But I know that buttermilk has lower fat content than whipping cream and so using buttermilk might affect the texture (richness) of the pudding.
Oh look at this delight! I love mango and I wouldn’t mind a serving of this. Well done!
Thanks Olguta! I visited your site and your baked goods look magnificent!!
