Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mango?
Yes. Thaw frozen mango slightly before blending so it breaks down smoothly with the avocado.
How do I change the thickness or sweetness?
Taste after blending and adjust the maple syrup or citrus juice to suit you. If you want a thinner pudding, stir in a splash more coconut or almond milk.
How long does the pudding need to chill?
Spoon it into bowls or small jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavour and texture. Top with mango cubes, coconut flakes, chia seeds, mint or crushed nuts just before serving.
