Chinese Mango Pudding (芒果布丁)

August 10, 2022

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Chinese mango pudding is the perfect dessert if you’re looking for something light and not too sweet. The pudding is refreshing to the palette and tastes great for the summer (any season really). It is made with mango puree and coconut milk. Half and half is also really good to use if you like your mango pudding on the creamier side.

Mango pudding is usually served at Cantonese or Hong Kong restaurants at the end of the meal. However, this popular dessert can also be found in many Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and more! If you can’t find this mango pudding at your local Chinese joint, I highly recommend to make this simple recipe at home.

Important Notes for Delicious Mango Pudding

  • Use boiling water not warm water to melt the gelatin
  • Yellow ripe mangoes (mostly found in Asian grocery stores) are perfect for this recipe. They are extra sweet and often used for mango pudding. If you can’t find the yellow mangoes, I recommend to use extra ripe mangoes and add extra sugar or honey until it fits your taste buds.
  • Don’t boil the mango pudding or leave on the stove for too long. I found that the milk curdled meaning that the milk separated from the mango mixture. Cooking on the stove for 4-5 minutes helps kill the bacteria and you can leave in the fridge for a few days longer.
  • The recommended serving size for this mango pudding is 4 people. It can stay in the fridge for 3 days MAX so eat up when its fresh! When the mango pudding turns color, I suggest throwing away.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR MANGO PUDDING:

  • yellow & ripe mangos (makes 1 cup mango puree)
  • boiling water
  • coconut milk or half and half
  • condensed milk
  • sugar (adjust the sugar depending on how sweet your mangoes are) or honey
  • gelatin (1 packet of Knoxx gelatin)

STEPS TO MAKE THE MANGO PUDDING:

  1. Boil hot water to the gelatin and mix together. Make sure the water is boiling so it can help dissolve the gelatin. Set the mixture aside.
  2. To make the mango puree, cut mangos and place in a blender. Blend until smooth. I recommend to use yellow mangoes because they are sweeter. If you can’t find them, make sure to use ripe or sweet mangoes.
  3. In the pot, add 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon condensed milk, 1/2 tablespoon sugar and the gelatin mixture from step one. If you like mango, you can also add mango chunks in the pudding. Slowly heat the pot on low medium until it starts to simmer (NOT BOIL) while mixing frequently with a spoon. This takes 3-5 minutes depending on the power of your flame. Do a taste test to see if its sweet enough. You can also add more or less sugar or honey depending on your sweetness preferences. Sugar will need to be adjusted depending on what mangoes you are using. NOTE: if you have extra mangoes, chop them in small pieces and add in the filling.
  4. Add the filling in small bowls and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy with condensed milk at the top and more mango chunks ◡̈ NOTE: I mixed 1/2 teaspoon water to 1 teaspoon condensed milk to create that ‘watery’ milk texture.

MORE MANGO DESSERTS:

  • mango mochi – super easy mochi filled with sweet mango and mochi coated with coconut flakes
  • mango float – mango ice cream box cake is a classic Filipino dessert
  • mango pancake – thin mango crepe is wrapped with sweet mango and cream

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.

My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over r My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over rice! This dish tastes sweet and savory (similar to teriyaki) which goes so well with rice. The recipe is inspired by Japanese soboro don which is served with scrambled egg, but I think it also reminds me of the Taiwanese dish, Lu rou fan. We cook the ground pork down in some beer to make the meat taste sweeter as well as cut down on the gaminess. 

Don’t forget to serve with hot white rice and a sunny side egg to complete the meal. I was intensely writing down the ingredients and instructions so you can make it at home 😉❤️Check it out in my link in bio or google ‘braised pork rice dana’ 🍚

You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this ea You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this easy and delicious mapo tofu! This is spicy, flavorful and a little tingly from the peppercorn oil. This is not an authentic replica of the sichuan mapo tofu but it’s very close. I would say the dish is a combo of sichuan and cantonese flavors 😍
My uncle taught me how to make this and it’s one of my favorite recipes to cook when I don’t have a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Also eating spicy and hot foods when it’s cold outside always makes me happy for some reason. Check full recipe in the blog or link in bio 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶

Sorry y’all for the lighting in the video. It’s cold and gloomy here in California. Hopefully weather gets better and we can have some golden ☀️ shots! Love you all and stay warm dumplings.
