Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginseng powder (or 2 ginseng capsules, opened)
- 1/4 cup honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan version)
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Mint leaves and extra mango slices for garnish (optional but totally adorable)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the hot water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom (aka puff up like it’s flexing at the gym).
- In a blender, combine the chopped mangoes, ginseng powder, honey, coconut milk, whole milk, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and gorgeous.
- Add the bloomed gelatin into the blender and blitz again until it’s one happy family.
- Pour the mixture evenly into pudding cups, ramekins, or any cute container that sparks joy.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. (Yes, it’s worth the wait. Maybe binge-watch a series to pass the time.)
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra mango slices before serving. Serve cold, with an air of tropical sophistication.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract.
If using agar-agar, follow package instructions as it sets differently than gelatin.
Adjust the sweetness depending on how naturally sweet your mangoes are.
