Chinese Style Mango Pudding

In Hong Kong, there is a dessert, called mango pudding, which is available in any restaurants. People make thier own at home. It is like a no-brainer. After moving to the US, making this dessert is like the most difficult task in this world becuase you can't find mango flavor jellow. Mango is not very well-known in the US until a couple years ago. I always love to take on the challenge. But you can never imagine how many times I tried to get this recipe nailed. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients
1 Pack Oragne Jello
1-2 tbsp Lemon Juice (to taste)
1 Pack Instant Vanilla Pudding
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Hot Water
1 Pack Frozen Mango Pulp (thawed)

Have 2 big mixing bowls ready
Put orange jello in one bowl and the pudding mix in another
Pour in 1 cup of hot water into the bowl of jello mix
Stir until it is melted and add 1 tbsp lemon juice and mango pulp

Pour 2 cups of cold whole milk into the bowl of pudding mix
Whisk until almost completely set

Pour and stir in 1/3-1/2 cup of jellow mixture into the vanilla pudding mix to termperize
Then pour the rest of the jello mix into the pudding mix
Stir to combine and taste to adjust the flavor
Add more lemon juice if necessary
Add 1tbsp at a time
Chill in the fridge for 4 hours and serve

TIPS
If you go to the Chinese store, you may find the mango flavor jello.
Peach flavor jello is the next best alternative after the mango one.
