📜 Ingredients
2 large ripe mangoes (about 2 cups of pulp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to mango sweetness)

1 cup water
2 teaspoons agar-agar powder (halal-friendly gelatin alternative)

📝 Instructions
- Peel and dice the two large mangoes. Blend the mango pulp in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and agar-agar powder. Whisk well to dissolve any lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the agar-agar is fully dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the granulated sugar until completely dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the blended mango pulp and coconut milk (or heavy cream) until well combined and smooth.
- Carefully pour the mango pudding mixture into individual serving cups or a large dessert mold.
- Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-4 hours, or until fully set.
- Once set, top each serving with fresh diced mango pieces just before serving. Enjoy your delightful creation!
💡 Chef's Tips
For the best flavor, always use ripe, sweet mangoes. Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes are excellent choices. If your mangoes aren't very sweet, you might need to add a little more sugar to taste. To make this dessert dairy-free and vegan, ensure you use coconut milk and agar-agar powder, which is plant-based. You can also substitute coconut milk with any plant-based cream like cashew cream for a different flavor profile.
