INGREDIENTS USED IN MAKING MANGO MILK PUDDING BITES

1. MILK

Milk serves as the base liquid for the pudding, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor. It adds moisture and helps bind the other ingredients together. When choosing milk for the recipe, you can opt for whole milk for a richer flavor and creamier texture, or you can use low-fat or plant-based milk alternatives for a lighter option, depending on your dietary preferences.

I have used Nestle milk for making these scrumptious mango milk pudding bites.

2. MANGO PUREE

Mango puree is the star ingredient in this recipe, providing the vibrant flavor and tropical essence that define Mango Pudding Bites. To make mango puree, take ripe mangoes ,peel them and blended until smooth and creamy. Mango puree adds a luscious texture and bright orange color to the pudding, making it visually appealing and irresistible.

When selecting mangoes for the puree, choose ripe mangoes that are fragrant.

3. SUGAR

Sugar is an optional ingredient in Mango Pudding Bites and can be adjusted according to the sweetness of the mangoes used in the recipe. While ripe mangoes are naturally sweet, adding sugar can enhance the sweetness of the pudding and balance any tartness or acidity in the fruit. The amount of sugar used can vary depending on personal preference and the sweetness level of the mangoes. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste as needed. If you prefer a healthier or less sweet option, you can omit the sugar altogether.

4. CORNFLOUR

Cornflour acts as a thickening agent in milk pudding bites. When mixed with cold liquid and then heated, it thickens the mixture, giving the pudding its smooth and silky consistency. Cornflour helps the pudding set properly, transforming the liquid ingredients into a soft yet firm texture. It’s essential for achieving the perfect pudding consistency. I use weikfield cornflour in my recipes.

5. DESICCATED COCONUT

In this context, desiccated coconut is used to coat the mango milk pudding bites. After the pudding is set and cut into bite-sized pieces, these pieces are often coated with a thin layer of desiccated coconut. This serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Functionally, the desiccated coconut prevents the pudding pieces from sticking together. Aesthetically, it adds a crunchiness to the outer layer, enhancing the overall mouthfeel and presentation of the dessert. The one that I used is linked here.

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED FOR THE MANGI MILK-PUDDING BITES

This recipe doesn’t require a lot of equipment. Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons are an integral part of any baker’s kitchen, and it’s very important to measure ingredients with precision.

A heavy-bottom saucepan and a whisk are required to combine everything together. A spatula is my favorite kitchen piece of equipment.

You also need an induction or a heat source to heat the mixture.

For the mold to set the pudding, I have used a square pan; you can use any shaped baking pan to set the pudding.

TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE MANGO MILK PUDDING BITES AT HOME

• Choose Ripe Mangoes: Select ripe, fragrant mangoes for the best flavour and sweetness. Look for mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a fruity aroma. Ripe mangoes will produce a smooth and flavourful puree for the pudding.
• Remove the mixture as soon as it starts to thicken, or else it will become lumpy.
• Make sure you are continuously whisking the mixture to ensure there are no lumps.
• Taste the mango puree before adding sugar to determine its sweetness level. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly to balance the flavours.
• Patience is key when making strawberry milk pudding bites. Allow sufficient time for the pudding to set in the refrigerator. This usually takes 4–5 hours. A well-set pudding ensures a smooth and consistent texture.
• Use a sharp, clean knife to cut the cubes equally.
• Cook the pudding mixture over medium heat. Avoid high heat to prevent scorching or curdling. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
