Mango pudding is my kid’s favorite dessert. It’s the usual choice when it is in the restaurant’s menu. I like this recipe because it uses fresh mangoes, which are abundant at this time of the year. It is simple and easy to make. The hard part is waiting for it to chill and set but it’s worth the wait. You will be rewarded with a sweet, refreshing and delicious treat. 😀

Hi Jennifer,
You can try pureeing sliced mango in the blender (with a bit of milk, if needed) and place on top of the mango pudding. Hope this helps!

I don’t use dairy, but was thinking of trying coconut cream as a sub–it’s about as thick as evap milk. do you think it would work?

Hi Marie,
I have not tried coconut cream in this recipe so I don’t know if it will work.

Hi, could you please tell me how big each small mango is? I live in China and there seem to be more varieties here. Could you email me?

Hi Candy,
I did not weigh the mangoes that I used but I used Ataulfo mangoes for this recipe and it yielded 2 cups when pureed. Hope these help!
