Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an added protein boost, stir in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder into the pudding mixture before refrigerating. Make sure to whisk thoroughly to maintain a smooth texture. Stirring after 30 minutes during chilling helps reduce clumps and keeps the pudding creamy.

Varianten und Anpassungen

If mango isn’t in season or to suit your taste, swap it for berries or pineapple for a different fruity twist. For a vegan version, replace the Skyr with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup as the sweetener.

Serviervorschläge

Serve your pudding chilled in clear glasses or jars to showcase the vibrant mango puree and pudding layers. Top with fresh mango slices, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and a sprig of mint for a refreshing finish and appealing presentation.
