Ingredients

Coconut Pudding

  • ⅕ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ¼ cups coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mango Sauce

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

To Serve

  • Toasted shredded coconut
  • Fresh diced mango

Instructions

Prepare the Pudding Mixture

  • First, add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a medium saucepan.
  • Then, pour in a small amount of coconut milk and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
  • Gradually pour in the remaining coconut milk while whisking.
  • Finally, add the vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.

Cook the Coconut Pudding

  • Next, place the saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking or forming lumps.
  • Continue cooking until the pudding thickens and a trail from the spoon remains visible for about 2 to 3 seconds.
  • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Chill the Pudding

  • Then, transfer the pudding to a bowl or divide it evenly among four serving dishes.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding is completely chilled and set.

Make the Mango Sauce

  • Meanwhile, add the mango chunks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, cinnamon, and salt to a saucepan.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the mango becomes soft.
  • Once softened, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the mango mixture until smooth.
  • If the mango is stringy, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother consistency.
  • Then, allow the mango sauce to cool completely before serving.

Serve

  • To serve, spoon the cooled mango sauce over the chilled coconut pudding.
  • Next, top with toasted shredded coconut and fresh diced mango.
  • Finally, serve cold and enjoy.
