Chinese Mango Pudding

This mango pudding is quite famous in chinese dessert shops in which lots of yummy and interesting dishes are served for example this sticky rice balls over mango smoothie, red bean soup and nuomici. i'm not a sweet tooth, however I simply love sweet dessert in the ones sun-shinning days.

In China, we get lots of ways to make this mango pudding, some use gelatin as instructed inside the following recipe or pudding powder designed for homemade pudding. To get a natural and smooth flavor, keep in mind to pressure the combination!!! when you consider that I do not have ramakins in my kitchen, i use small bowls and cups at once.

Ingredients

3 middle size mature mangoes , fresh mango cubes 1 pound
2 packet unflavored gelatin sheets , or 10g , see note 1 if you want to use gelatin powder
160 ml milk , or coconut milk
60 ml heavy cream , chilled
1/2 cup granulated sugar , or more if needed

Instructions

Soak gelatin sheets in cold water until soft.
In a small pot, heat half of the milk, sugar and soaked gelatin over slow fire. Keep stirring and heat until sugar and gelatin dissolve completely. Remove from heat and set aside to cool down.
Cut fresh mango in half and then dice the fresh mangos out. Place most of the mango cubes in blender and then add the left half milk or coconut milk; blend until very smooth.
Mix mango smooth with milk prepared in step 1, add heavy cream too. Stir until evenly combined. And strain the mixture. You may need to use a spatula to help the mixture go through the strainer. Pour the mixture to your container or ramekins. Move to refrigerator for around 2 to 3 hours until completely set.
Before eating, decorate with left mango cubes and mint leaves. Enjoy!
