What is mango pudding made of?
Mango pudding is made with only 5 ingredients! It's also super easy to make (you'll just need a blender), so this is a nice dessert to make if you're short on time.
- Mangoes
- Gelatin
- Sugar
- Evaporated milk
- Cold water
Can I make it without gelatin?
Yes, you can use agar-agar which is a vegan alternative. However, the mango pudding won't be as wobbly in texture.
Can I use frozen or canned mangoes?
Yes, frozen mangoes work great in a pinch. Just make sure to blend them. Canned mangoes are fine too. However, using FRESH mangoes is best because it has the most juicy and fragrant flavour.

Can I use other fruits?
Yes, you can. I suggest using guava, honeydew, peach, or strawberries! However, don't use kiwi or pineapple since they have enzymes that stop gelatin from gelling.
What vegan alternatives can I use for the milk?
Coconut milk is great for adding creaminess and giving a yummy tropical flavour when paired with mangoes. You can also use any plant milk, like almond milk or oat milk.
How do I store mango pudding?
Cover it with saran wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days. It needs to be covered or else the pudding will form a dry skin on top. Reserve some fresh mango chunks and evaporated milk to drizzle on when serving.
How to serve mango pudding?
