Ingredient Notes

1 cup ripe mango, diced (fresh or frozen can be used); 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (substitute maple syrup for a vegan option); 1 pound coconut milk (canned is best for creaminess); 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (small-sized for quicker cooking). Choose high-quality brands for the best flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a pressure cooker, combine 1 cup of mango, 1/2 cup of tapioca pearls, and 1 pound of coconut milk.
  2. Step 2: Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  3. Allow natural release for 10 minutes before removing the lid.
  4. Step 3: Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until fully combined, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Be mindful of the cooking time; overcooking the tapioca can lead to a mushy texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This pudding can also be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. To reheat, simply warm gently on the stove or in the microwave.
