    Tropical Mango Pudding

    Here, it's extremely important to use very ripe mangoes ¿ it's their fresh flavor that makes these puddings so delicious.

    Ingredients
    2 1/4 to 2 3/4 lb very ripe mangoes (4 or 5)
    1 (1/4-oz) pack unflavored gelatin
    1 1/4 cups water
    1/2 cup sugar
    3/4 cup canned evaporated milk

    Preparation
    1. Peel and pit mangoes, then purée in a food processor until smooth (you should have 2 1/3 cups purée). Force through a medium-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibers, scraping bottom of sieve with a rubber spatula (discard fibers).

    2.Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat sugar and remaining cup water in a small saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, then add gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved. Add puréed mango and heat, stirring, just until mixture reaches a bare simmer. Remove from heat, then stir in evaporated milk until combined well. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

    3. Divide among 8 (1/2-cup) goblets and chill, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 24 (for flavors to develop; puddings will be softly set).

    Servings: 8
