Mango Pudding



A popular restaurant in Ipoh has recently introduced Mango Pudding as dessert in their menu.  It has received very encouraging response from its customers.  This dessert has to be pre-ordered as it's not readily available daily.  Much depends on the availability and quality of this tropical fruit from their suppliers.

This is my second attempt as the first time, the pudding didn't set at all even after being chilled overnight.  Fortunately, I stumbled upon this recipe from  redcook  and I'm very satisfied with the result.  I tweaked it somewhat and substituted evaporated milk with soymilk.










Recipe for Mango Pudding

Ingredients
1 cup hot water
1 cup evaporated milk/soymilk  ( I used this)
3/4 oz gelatine
1.1/2 cups mango puree
(from 2 to 3 medium size mangoes)
2 oz granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh mangoes  -  optional
(cut into 1/4 inch cubes)

Preparation
Skin the mango, cut the flesh about 1 inch sq.
put in blender to puree
Heat up the cup of water
sprinkle in gelatine, let stand for 3 mins.
Add in sugar and stir till dissolved
Add evaporated milk/soymilk, stir
Add mango puree and stir well
Strain the mango mixture into ramekin
Discard the residue
Chill overnight
Serve as it is or with fruits as desired

To unmould
Submerge moulds in hot water for about 30 secs.
Turn moulds over and unmould out onto a shallow dish
Serve

    I make mango pudding using fresh milk instead of soymilk and no sugar added. After tasting it, I was surprised that there was no mango flavor smell and no sweet at all. Why? Should I add sugar to enhance the flavor?

      You mean you expected the sweetness to come from the mangoes? You added water and milk, so even if the mangoes are very sweet, the sweetness will be diluted. You must add in sugar as stated in the recipe.

      Ok. I will try to add sugar. I worry about the mango flavour and the fragrant. Wondering if sugar help if added?

      My mango pudding was slightly firm. How to make it softer?

      Thanks.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...
