I love mango, especially during the summer! There’s so much you can do with it! Mango can be used in sweet or savory dishes, and when blended into a pudding or sorbet, it becomes wonderfully creamy. 

I had the idea to make a mango pudding with coconut milk as a quick and easy summer treat that requires minimal heat, and it does not disappoint! You’ll absolutely love making this for a healthy and decadent treat.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use fresh mango rather than frozen. I highly recommend getting a fresh mango for this recipe! The reason is that you can control how ripe the mango is for the perfectly fresh flavor, and frozen mango is going to have a lot of extra moisture. It will still work with frozen and defrosted mango in a pinch, but make sure you strain excess liquid.
  • Store the pudding covered. Pudding can form a film on top if it’s stored uncovered in the fridge, so make sure to cover it! I simply place a plate over all of the pudding cups.
