Thai Mango Coconut Pudding

Thai Mango Coconut Pudding is a perfect summer dessert with mangoes and coconut. The dessert is light and refreshing, especially in summers.

The Thai dessert is also called Woon Mamuang , woon is agar agar and Mamuang is Mango. The dessert is super simple to make and tastes so refreshing. It has no fat so it is really light. Also, I find the dessert very pretty, it is so similar to the china grass that we make. Both the desserts need agar agar to set, one is fruit-based the other is milk-based.

I have always used agar agar strands to make China Grass, but for the Mango and Coconut Jelly, I used agar agar powder. It dissolves easily and the dessert is done in a jiffy. However, one can use the agar agar strands if the powder is not available. The agar agar packets available here are of 8 gms which are used for 1 litre. So one can measure the liquid, in this case, mango puree and coconut water. The rest of the process remains the same.

While making this dessert there are a few points which are important to note –

Make sure the mango puree is smooth without any chunks or fibre.
You could sieve the mango puree.
Orange juice balances the flavour of the mango by giving mild tartness to the mango, you could avoid if you want.
Lemon juice is optional if adding add just a few drops.
Always add agar agar to room temperature water, place on the stove after stirring it.
Always take a test check – to check if agar agar has completely dissolved insert a spoon and pour back the liquid, if there are no tiny grains then you are good to go.
After pouring the mix into a serving glass/bowl, remove the tiny bubbles, if any with a toothpick.
Before working on the second layer, make sure the first layer has set.
Remember agar agar does not need a refrigerator to set.
If the agar agar jelly sets and is still in your pan, you can reheat to get it back to liquid.

These points will help you to make a perfect dessert, remember you can really get innovate and try your own variations. You can even make with just fruit and still enjoy the dessert, but please serve the dessert chilled, else you will not enjoy it.
