SHF38 Aloe Vera Mango Pudding

Another SUGAR HIGH FRIDAY (SHF) event! Blog events are hard to keep track of. One has to bare in mind the deadline for each event in order not to miss them.

SHF38 is hosted by the gracious ZORRA, for more details please refer to her blog. Zorra, thank you for the invitation.

The theme of SHF38 is PUDDING!

What else should I make other than the infamous Mango Pudding of Hong Kong which is well liked by kids and adults either in their DimSum sesssions or even as a must-have after-dinner desserts.

I chose Aloe Vera Mango Pudding because this is so easy to make and my kids really loved it. With all ingredients readily available, the only other thing you need to do is to boil a jug of water.

According to Wikipedia, the mango pudding is classified as a newer type of pudding usually thickened with agent such as gelatin. They are usually sweet, smooth and creamy.

Exactly! This is how this Aloe Vera Mango Pudding is like - sweet, smooth, wobbly and creamy.



The transparent bits are the aloe vera cubes.

2 eggs (lightly beaten)
250ml boiling hot water
240g mango puree (made from fresh mangoes)
100ml whipping cream or evaporated milk

1 pack mango flavoured jelly crystals - about 90g
5 tsp gelatin powder
3 - 4 tbsp sugar
375ml boiling hot water

(C)
2 mangoes or more (dice into cubes)
5 tbsp aloe vera (dice into cubes) - optional

Method:
1. Lightly beat eggs in a big mixing bowl. Add in 250ml hot boiling water, stirring all the time to prevent eggs from curdling. Strain egg mixture, add in the mango puree and whipping cream or evaporated milk. Mix gently till well blended.
2. Put all ingredients in (B) into a large mixing bowl and stir till jelly crystals, gelatin and sugar dissolved.
3. Mix both egg and jelly mixture together till well combined.

5. Chill in the refrigerator till set.
6. Serve chilled drenched with evaporated milk or mango puree and extra serving of mango and aloe vera cubes.

Notes:
Aloe Vera cubes are really optional.
