Indulge guilt-free with this exotic spiced sweet potato and mango pudding, a delicious and healthy dessert bursting with natural flavors and nutrients!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and diced
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and cubed
- • coconut milk: 1 cup, full-fat for creaminess
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: a pinch
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • pistachios: 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish
- • fresh mint leaves: a handful for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Start by steaming the diced sweet potatoes in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- 2 While the sweet potatoes are steaming, puree the mango cubes in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
- 3 Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and mash them until smooth. Add in the coconut milk, maple syrup, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- 4 Fold the mango puree into the sweet potato mixture, then stir in the chia seeds. Mix until the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture to individual serving bowls or ramekins.
- 5 Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set and flavors to meld.
- 6 Before serving, garnish each bowl with chopped pistachios and a few fresh mint leaves for an added burst of color and texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Spiced Sweet Potato and Mango Pudding pairs beautifully with a refreshing herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, for a calming end to your meal. For added crunch, consider serving alongside a handful of roasted nuts or a small fruit salad featuring tropical fruits like papaya and pineapple. The pudding's creamy texture and vibrant flavors also make it an excellent companion to a light, nutty granola, providing a delightful contrast and making your dessert experience even more satisfying.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its creamy texture, give it a good stir before serving. While the pudding can be frozen for up to 1 month, note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing. To enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
