Mango pudding is the silky one set in a mold, the restaurant dessert. I use ripe mango so the color is gold and the flavor tastes fresh, not from a mix.
The recipe is simple and requires minimal ingredients, making it perfect for both experienced cooks and novices. Serve it chilled for a perfect treat on warm days.
