Manconut Pudding (Mango+Coconut)

So it’s dessert time! When I asked in my IG story dessert or one more appetizer the vote goes for DESSERT!Hehe It’s obvious that Eid is around the corner and everyone will be looking for some easy and tasty dessert recipes! This dessert has three different layers of soft cake, yummilicious mango pulpy layer and the creamy coconut pudding with a nutty coconut caramel crunch!Isn’ that mouth watering?

Can you see that mangoes, cream, and coconut layers? So this is totally a new invention, the marriage of that mango and coconut layer is really a go-to idea in desserts. Here Cake is homemade, but if you want to make the process even simpler go for a readymade cake from the store. I tried in both chocolate cake base and vanilla, but for this, I recommend vanilla cake. My pudding bowl wiped out clean in no time when served for guests.

Hope you all will like it too. Here mangoes are used in two different ways, like chopped mangoes and pureed. Make sure your mango is sweet and good otherwise the pudding won’t taste good. Can’t wait to see the tried pictures of this pudding.

Over to the recipe!
