Mango pudding + chocolate sauce

Mango pudding + chocolate sauce a photo by {deepapraveen very busy with work..back soon on Flickr.

Mango pudding with chocolate sauce and a small slice of strawberry??
I love that combination. For me chocolate sauce and strawberry is a summer favorite . Same with mango pudding and chocolate sauce. But few days back my desert was this three together (:P)the yummy puddy mango slice, with sweet and rich chocolate sauce, and the juicy strawberries worked for me. Would you like to give it a try?

Mango Pudding:

Ingredients:

1.Mangopuree= one can
or
Out of three mangos.( small slices blend well with 1/4 cup of water).
2.Sugar=3/4 cup.
3.Mango slices=from one mango.
4.Butter melted=1 tspoon.
5.Unflavored or mango flavored gelatin = 2 packets or 1 table spoon full.
6.Fresh milk=11/4 cup.
7.Water=1 Cup
8.Whipping cream=1/4 cup(whipped which I avoided).

9.Coconut powder=1 tspoon.

How to make Mango Pudding.
1. Bring water to boil, then remove from heat and add gelatin and sugar, stir well till it dissolves and gets a smooth consistency.

2.Mix mango puree,milk, and coconut powder together and stir well. Now add the whipping cream,small mango slices and mix well again.

3.Mix this with sugar and gelatin solution.

4.Brush butter on the bowl we are going to prepare our pudding. Transfer the already prepared mixture to this bowl.

5. Chill this mixture in a refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving.

Chocolate sauce:

1.Any chocolate=1 cup
2.Milk=1 cup.
3.Butter=50gm
4.Vanilla essence= few drops.

My way of making:
Prior warning..Dont add everything together please...

1.Take a small pan and add fill it with 1/4th water and bring it to boil.
2.Take another round shaped bowl (preferable one is that can sit on top of the bottom pan).
3. Keep the second bowl on top of the bowl with boiling water. (keep your hands safe girls) check whether the bowl is touching the boiling water, if yes that is not good. What we need is the steam from the other bowl.
4.Now add milk and vanilla essence and mix well.
5.After two minutes we can start adding our chocolate portions, start by simple portions.
6.Once it starts melting add butter,stir well.
7.Now add chocolate.
8.Taste the sauce once you get that smooth consistency you can stop adding chocolate to the mixture. If you want you can add the whole cup or you can stop by adding just half cup.
(Same with the butter. The trick is to get a silky smoothie sauce once you got that you can stop the process.)

P.S : As I knew I am going to have my pud with chocolate sauce I greased the pudding bowl with chocolate sauce.

Hope you will enjoy this mango pudding and sauce.
