Steps
Step 1
Wash mangoes

Cut mango flesh into small cubes and measure about 500 g.
Step 4
Reserve cubes
Set aside a few mango cubes, cover and refrigerate for serving.
Step 5
Puree mango
Blend remaining mango cubes until smooth.
Step 6
Bloom gelatin
Sprinkle 15 g plain gelatin evenly over 50 ml cold water; rest according to packet directions until hydrated.
Step 7
Dissolve sugar
Heat 100 ml water with 40 g sugar gently in a small saucepan until sugar dissolves; do not boil.
Step 8
Dissolve gelatin
Remove from heat, add bloomed gelatin to warm syrup and stir until fully dissolved according to packet directions.
Step 9
Cool to lukewarm
Let gelatin syrup cool about 10 minutes until lukewarm, not hot, before mixing with puree.
Step 10
Combine mango and milk
Whisk mango puree and 200 ml evaporated milk together in a bowl.
Step 11

Common mistakes
- Unhydrated gelatin may clump; syrup that is too hot can harm texture; unmolding before fully set makes pudding collapse.
Tips
