Coronation Pudding is a sweet dessert that is typically made with coconut milk, mango puree, and a variety of warm spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom.
The name “Coronation Pudding” may have originated firstly in the UK as a nod to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, as this dessert was reportedly served at coronation-themed celebrations around that time.
The pudding is thickened with corn-starch and sweetened with sugar, and it is often garnished with raisins and chopped nuts like pistachios.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (396 grams) of full-fat coconut milk
- 120 grams of mango puree
- 50 grams of granulated sugar
- 30 grams of corn-starch
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground cardamom
- a pinch of salt
- 5 grams of vanilla extract
- 40 grams of golden raisins
- 40 grams of chopped pistachios
Instructions:
- Firstly, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, mango puree, sugar, corn-starch, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and salt until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, whisking constantly, for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, raisins, and chopped pistachios.
- Pour the mixture into a large serving dish or individual ramekins and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the dish or ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve the coronation pudding chilled, garnished with additional chopped pistachios if desired. Enjoy!
