This Tropical Coconut and Mango Pudding is a luscious and creamy treat that transports your taste buds straight to a tropical paradise. Combining the rich flavors of coconut milk with the sweetness of ripe mangoes, this pudding isn’t only delicious but also an eye-catching dessert that will impress your guests.
The smooth texture of the pudding pairs perfectly with the fruity mango topping, creating a delightful contrast that’s hard to resist. Perfect for warm weather gatherings or simply as a sweet indulgence at home, this pudding is surprisingly easy to make.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a dessert that feels extravagant without requiring extensive time in the kitchen. Serve it chilled, and you’ll have an invigorating end to any meal that showcases the vibrant flavors of the tropics.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk constantly as the mixture heats up. Bring it to a gentle simmer, which will activate the cornstarch and thicken the pudding.
- Once the pudding begins to thicken and bubble, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a mixing bowl.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
- To serve, spoon the chilled pudding into individual serving bowls and top with diced mango. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the tropical flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice or zest to the pudding mixture before cooking. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can replace some of the whole milk with more coconut milk.
For a fun twist, feel free to layer the pudding with additional fruits such as kiwi or pineapple, creating a beautiful tropical parfait.
Enjoy your delicious creation!
