How to Make Mango Pudding with Crunchy Topping
- In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- After blooming, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until it dissolves completely. Stir it into the mango mixture until well combined.
- Pour the mango pudding mixture into individual serving cups or a large dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- While the pudding is setting, prepare the crunchy topping. In a skillet over medium heat, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
- Once the pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator and top with the crunchy oat mixture before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
