1. Mango Pudding

Ingredients

• 1½ cups mango purée
• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2½ tsp gelatin powder
• ¼ cup warm water

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with warm water and let bloom for 5 minutes. The mixture will thicken as it sets.
2. In a saucepan, gently heat the milk, cream, and sugar over medium-low heat just until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm milk mixture and stir continuously until fully dissolved and smooth.
4. Remove from heat and mix in the mango purée until the color and texture are consistent.
5. Pour into serving cups or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set and jiggly.
6. Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh mango cubes or mint leaves.
