Mango, Pomelo & Sago Pudding

I was searching Hong Kong sites for an eggless Mango, Pomelo & Sago Pudding or Chilled Cake recipe, and I found this recipe by Bakery Lover. Quite apprehensive to attempt this recipe at first because I preferred the measurement of mango puree to be in weight rather than number of mangoes (all mangoes differ in size and weight). I thought precise measurement is important in such recipes to yield the perfect consistency - neither wobbly nor hard pudding.

Finally went ahead with my attempt and made minor adjustments to the recipe based on my intuition. Kept my fingers crossed when the pudding was in the fridge. Haha... I was exhilarated when the pudding came out perfect and the taste was just right for my liking. Yes! I did it!!!!

I substituted the coconut milk with evporated milk; increased the amount of pomelo; reduced the castor sugar by 10g; used only 5 mangoes instead of 6 as stated in the recipe. For the quantity of gelatin, not very sure because I was having a jovial exchange with naughty Gene and Ni, and not concentrating with the measurement at that time. *lol*
