Mango Pudding

Mango pudding is simple, refreshing and delicious dim sum dessert at yum cha restaurants globally. Traditionally, they make mango pudding with fresh mango puree, fresh cream and gelatin then sweetened with sugar. But more modern versions use evaporated milk. Likewise, it has a creamy and silky rich flavour. Moreover, they serve mango pudding with different cut fresh fruits like mango, strawberries, berries and kiwifruit as garnish when serving. Besides, this mango pudding dessert is extremely popular in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. For my gluten free mango pudding recipe, I am using fresh mango, coconut milk, agar agar powder and agave syrup. This gluten free dessert is also low carb, paleo, vegan, nut free, soy free, dairy free, corn free and refined sugar free.

  1. Aaahhh, Mango – my most favorite of all fruits. Here in Australia it’s still a few months off until our mangos are in season but with this ever so easy recipe that just looks amazing – think I might have just try it as soon as I can.

    • Mango is such a juicy and delicious fruit. Eventhough Mango is our of season now, you can actually get frozen Australian mango cubes from Woolworths if you really want to give this mango pudding a try. 🙂
