Ingredients

• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet (1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 ripe mango, pureed (about 1 cup)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup crushed cookies (such as graham crackers or vanilla wafers)
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

How to Make Creamy Coconut Pudding with Mango Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and just begins to bubble, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
4. Once the coconut mixture thickens, remove it from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
5. Pour the pudding into individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
6. While the pudding sets, prepare the mango sauce by combining the mango puree and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well.
7. Once the pudding is set, top each cup with mango sauce, crushed cookies, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to stir the pudding continuously while it cooks to prevent lumps.
• Adjust the sweetness of the mango sauce by adding more or less lime juice according to your taste.
• For a smoother pudding, strain the mixture before pouring it into cups.

Easy Variations

• Swap out mango for other fruits like passion fruit or raspberry for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of coconut extract for an extra coconut kick.
• Incorporate shredded coconut into the pudding for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent touch.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added crunch.
