Mango Pudding

Unlike ordinary mango pudding, this is dairy-free and contains zero animal products like gelatine and cream. A little lemon juice intensifies the full flavour of the mango!

Ingrediants - Makes 4

100ml (3½fl oz) water

100ml (3½fl oz) soymilk

2 tablespoons unrefined caster sugar

½ teaspoon concentrated agar-agar powder*

2 cups diced mango

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Garnish

Pieces of diced mango

1. Place water, soymilk, sugar and agar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for at least 2 minutes.

2. Place the mango in a blender and blend well. Add to the soymilk mixture and mix well.

3. Pour the mixture equally into four glasses and refrigerate until set and cool.

4. Serve with diced mango

Tip

If your mango is not fully ripened, add fresh orange juice instead of lemon juice or add extra sugar.

I like a soft texture so I add the minimum amount of agar agar powder. Ensure you scrape all the mixture from the side of the pot, with a silicon spatula; this way you will not miss any agar-agar when you stir.

If you use agar flakes or stick, put in four times more than the concentrated agar-agar powder (2 teaspoons).

If you use Japanese agar-agar powder, put two times more (1 teaspoon).
