mango pudding recipe with step by step photos – smooth, velvety and soft thai mango pudding made with coconut milk. the mango pudding has the lovely flavors of both mangoes and coconut.

i had bookmarked this recipe from about.com some years back. they did not have a video then and it was a text recipe. it took me a pretty long time to try this recipe.

this is a really smooth and soft mango pudding and is vegetarian as well as vegan. agar agar is used as a setting agent in the pudding. the original recipe uses gelatin. being a vegetarian i have used agar agar strands. you can use both agar agar strands or agar agar powder.

do note that while using agar agar, it is important to boil (strands or powder) in water. if not boiled, then the pudding will not set. i have used agar agar in few more recipes like mango panna cotta, mango cheesecake and pomegranate mousse.

i have not used any extra flavoring or aromatic ingredients. though for some aroma, you can add vanilla extract, pandanus water (kewra water) or cardamom or cinnamon powder.
