Mango pudding FAQ:

How long does it take for mango pudding to set?

Mango pudding needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set properly. For best results, consider letting it sit overnight.

Can I use fresh mangoes instead of canned mango puree?

Yes, you can use fresh mangoes to make your own puree. Simply blend ripe, chopped mangoes until smooth, as instructed in the recipe.

What size pan or mold should I use for mango pudding?

You can use individual serving bowls, cups, or a larger mold for the pudding. Ensure they are appropriate for serving sizes, typically holding about 1/2 to 1 cup each.

How can I store leftover mango pudding?

Store any leftover mango pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It may lose some texture over time, so enjoy it sooner rather than later.

What can I substitute for gelatin if I want a vegetarian option?

You can substitute gelatin with agar-agar, a plant-based thickening agent. Use a similar amount, but follow the package instructions for blooming and setting.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the water with mango puree.

- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved and combined with the other ingredients to avoid lumps.

- You can use silicone molds for easy removal of the pudding.

- Add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness and enhance the flavors.
