As a child, my version of a candy store was the desserts trolley at dim sum, especially mango pudding. While I didn’t have a sweet tooth, it just felt magical to see the artistically crafted sweets being wheeled from table to table. I always wanted to be the one pushing the trolley—I imagined myself a skilled server-slash-salesperson, confidently dishing out plates of multi-colored jelly cubes decorated with little toothpick flags, wobbly black sesame rolls, glutinous rice balls blanketed in coconut and, of course,egg tarts.
芒果布丁甜点电车的一颗恒星, luminously orange, topped with evaporated milk and light as a feather to eat. This recipe is vegan, using agar agar powder (a jelly-like substance obtained from red algae) to achieve the gelatinous consistency. You’ll find agar agar at specialty grocers or health-food stores.

Ingredients
Serves 4
Step 1
Set aside one-quarter of the cubed mango and 3 tablespoons of the coconut milk.
Step 2
Place the remaining cubed mango, remaining coconut milk and maple syrup in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Step 3
Pour the blitzed mango into a saucepan and whisk in the agar agar powder. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly, until the agar agar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Step 4
Cut the extra mango into slightly smaller cubes and divide among four bowls. Pour the mango and coconut mixture over the top and place in the fridge for 2 hours to set. Just before serving, top with the reserved mango cubes and drizzle with the reserved coconut milk.
