Mango Pudding with Nata de Coco Jelly
Description
Mango Pudding with Nata de Coco Jelly begins by heating mango nectar mixed with agar powder until it boils, activating the gel-setting agent. The slightly thickened mixture is then cooled briefly to allow partial setting before adding nata de coco, a chewy coconut gel from a can. This timing helps keep the nata de coco suspended in the pudding rather than sinking. Alternatively, one can add nata de coco directly to serving vessels and pour the pudding mixture over, with the coconut gel settling to the bottom.
The pudding is refrigerated for one to two hours to fully set, resulting in a firm but tender tropical dessert with a bright mango flavor complemented by the chewy, lightly sweet nata de coco. It is typically served chilled to highlight the refreshing qualities of the fruit and gel textures.
Ingredients
- 250 ml mango nectar
- ½ teaspoon agar powder
- 150 g nata de coco drained, ½ can, coconut gel
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add in mango nectar and agar powder.
- Whisk to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the mixture into glass/cups or serving vessel of your choice.
- For the nata de coco to be suspended in the mango agar mixture, allow the mixture to cool and set slightly before adding in the nata de coco (coconut gel).
- For a more streamlined method, you can add the nata de coco into your serving vessels and then pour the mango agar mixture over top -- just note that the nata de coco will settle to the bottom of the vessel.
- Place the cups into the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours, until firmly set.
