It wiggles, but it&#8217;s not jelly. It&#8217;s a tropical dessert, guess what it is???<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Mango pudding! When I think of ripe mangoes, the first thing that comes to my mind is- Mango frooti, fresh and juicy! I hail from the tropical paradise of India, Kerala and this explains my love for mangoes. I grew up eating lots and lots of mangoes and during that time I took it for granted. But now I often crave for fresh and juicy ripe mangoes. If I am lucky I can find some good mangoes at Indian or Asian stores during summer, however mango pulp is always available at Indian stores. Every time I visit an Indian store I get tempted to grab the mango pulp, so that I can make<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/vgyo-smoothies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> mango lassi<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/mango-chicken-stir-fry-how-to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mango chicken<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/homemade-mango-ice-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mango ice cream<\/a>, etc. Good thing is you can make both sweet and savory dishes with ripe mangoes.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to whip up an easy yet delectable dessert with ripe mangoes, then this mango pudding is what I would recommend. You get to taste the mango flavor, it&#8217;s creamy and it just melts into your mouth. Last night, I got a sudden sweet craving and luckily I had mango puree in my pantry. Without much pondering, I made this pudding as it calls for very few ingredients and in just 15 minutes this pudding will be ready. This time I didn&#8217;t use pudding cups or ramekins, instead, I poured the pudding mixture into a cupcake pan and refrigerated it for 30 minutes. While serving, I placed the pan on the table so that the guests can scoop their own pudding from the pan. I found this to be a fun and interesting way of serving this pudding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/best-tasting-mango-pudding-easy-recipe-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/best-tasting-mango-pudding-easy-recipe-copy.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/best-tasting-mango-pudding-easy-recipe-copy-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cooking Video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Easy Mango Pudding Recipe with Agar Agar\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X5InqHFD8M4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/best-tasting-mango-pudding-easy-recipe.heic\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/best-tasting-mango-pudding-easy-recipe.heic\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mango Pudding<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9559\" title=\"mango pudding\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mango-pudding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mango-pudding.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mango-pudding-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong> <strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Milk, whole or skim- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Condensed milk, sweetened- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Saffron strands- 2 pinches (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Agar-agar, strands, cut into 2-inch strands- 1\/2 cup (or use powdered gelatin- 1.5 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>Water- 1\/2 cup (to dissolve agar-agar)<\/li>\n<li>Sweetened mango pulp- 1 cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I&#8217;ve added agar as the thickening agent.
