Mango pudding


Being a person that goes to yum cha at least 7 times every year, mango pudding is always a dessert that HAS to be ordered because of its yummy and creamy taste. But now, being the stingy person that I am, decided to instead, make my own version of mango pudding =).



Ingredients:
** Note: you can mix and match whatever you want to do.. generally, adding more mango adds to the taste and if you want to make it less fatty, just add less ice-cream.
** I decided to make 2 different versions (2nd one my mum came up with)

Version 1

120g pureed mango
120g mango cubes (you can change this to pureed if you dont like chunks in your pudding)
100ml whipped cream
20g gelatin
80g sugar
300ml water
250g of ice-cream (better with mango or just use vanilla if unavailable)

Version 2 (mum's idea)

200g pureed mango
150g mango cubes (you can change this to pureed if you dont like chunks in your pudding)
70ml whipped cream
30ml milk
20g gelatin
80g sugar
300 ml water
100g ice-cream
50g evaporated milk

** It doesnt matter which version you are using. The steps being used to make them are EXACTLY the same!

Steps:
1) Using the double boil method (or just normally), melt the gelatin, sugar and water mixture together over low heat. Make sure everything is dissolved otherwise you get chunks of gelatin. Then leave to cool.
2) Whilst waiting for it to cool, you can mix your pureed mango, cubes, ice-cream and whipped cream in a seperate bowl.
3) Mix the cooled gelatin mixture with your mango mixture and pour into moulds.
4) Leave in the fridge to harden.
5) If required, add evaporated milk and mango chunks over your pudding before serving.

Using this recipe, I found that color may not be the best (just add coloring i guess?) but the taste is VERY similar to the one that they make in yum cha!
