If you’re anything like me, Mango Pudding is the one dish I look forward to eating when the dessert trolley wheels past at yum cha.

Surprisingly, it’s quite a tricky dessert to master at home. My first attempt a couple years ago resulted in mild food poisoning (I’m not really sure what caused it, but I could probably narrow it down to the frequent heating and cooling of milk). I’ve also tried the recipe they use at Kam Fook as seen on Food Safari but ended up with lumpy jelly and mushy mango.

Trawling through Google, I found a real gem of a recipe on World Foodie Guide which uses only four ingredients. The secret is in the instant mango jelly, which is used as a substitute for powdered gelatin.
