# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's embarrassingly easy, yet feels fancy enough to serve when people drop by unexpectedly.
  • The texture is naturally creamy without dairy, which means you can eat it guilt-free while sitting on your porch at sunrise.
  • Prep takes barely ten minutes, but tastes like you planned it all morning.
02 -
  • Stirring the pudding halfway through chilling is the difference between silky texture and sandy disappointment.
  • Ripe mangoes are everything—if yours are borderline, taste the puree before sweetening and trust what the fruit is already telling you.
03 -
  • Chill your serving glasses beforehand—the cold bowl keeps everything colder longer and makes each spoonful feel more luxurious.
  • If your pudding tastes flat after chilling, it usually just needs a tiny pinch more vanilla or lime juice to wake it up.
