Chef’s Corner
- Use very ripe, sweet mangoes for the best natural flavor and to reduce the need for added sugar.
- For an extra smooth pudding, strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
- Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your mangoes and your personal preference.
- If using agar-agar, dissolve it completely in hot water over low heat before mixing it into the mango puree. Agar-agar sets more firmly than gelatin.
