We mayyyy have a bit of an obsession with fruit and coconut. We don’t know what it is, but creamy smooth coconut combined with the juicy bright flavor of fruit is pretty much a winning combination.

I, Nanette recently went to a Thai restaurant where I had the classic mango sticky rice dessert, which inspired me to remix it into light mango coconut pudding where tropical mango is paired with a delicate vanilla-infused coconut.

It’s the perfect Asian dessert for sitting out on the patio on those hot summer nights!

  1. I used canned coconut milk and got a layer of coconut fat? (hard layer) on the top of the pudding. It didn’t taste right.

    • Hi Sue! We are so sorry to hear. Yes, that seems like the coconut fat rose to the top. We did some research on this and it seems like that can happen to canned coconut milk. Unfortunately, each can’s fat consistency varies and it even depends on the brand. You probably just have to stir the mixture more while prepping it. You can also mix the mixture again if the fat rose to the top after being refrigerated. We’ve read that using an emulsion blender works best to remix the mixture and then let it set again in the fridge. You definitely want the fat… just not only on the top. Hope this helps!

    • Hi! Yes, you can substitute the coconut milk for almond milk. Just be aware that almond milk is less fatty so the pudding won’t be as creamy. Plus, the coconut milk is how the pudding gets its coconut flavor so you will get a different flavor profile!

  5. So excited to try this. I love the flavor of mango sticky rice, but am not a big fan of rice. This sounds like a perfect compromise!5 stars
