Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml whole milk
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 30 g cornstarch
- 150 g ripe mango (pureed)
- 0.25 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and whole milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and a few tablespoons of the milk mixture to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Once the milk mixture begins to warm, add the granulated sugar and stir until it has dissolved completely.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to whisk constantly to avoid lumps forming.
Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a creamy pudding consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mango puree, cardamom powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the pudding into four serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, top each pudding with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf if desired.
