9 Delicious Vegan Mango Dessert Recipes For Your Kids

This collection of mango desserts highlights the sweet side of a beloved tropical fruit's adaptability.

You can find vegan mango dessert recipes like cakes, puddings, ice cream, popsicles, sticky rice, and more. This article introduces 9 of them.

How To Store Mangoes

Whether a mango is ripe or not determines how it should be stored properly. Unripe mangoes should be kept at room temperature to ripen.

To protect them from pests, put them in airtight containers like plastic bags or jars. Depending on their location, unripe mangoes can take up to 8 days to ripen.

Here's a trick to help mangoes ripen more quickly: put them in a paper bag. This produces ethylene, an odourless gas that hastens the ripening process. Cool.

1. Flash Freeze Method

Flash freezing is the most excellent method for preserving mangoes, which can extend their shelf life by up to 10 months. This is how:

• Peel the fruit and cut it into whatever shapes you like—chunks, cubes, strips—just remember how you'll use it after it defrosts.
• On a baking sheet, place the mango slices. Don't let the slices come in contact with one another. Trust me, once they're frozen, it's challenging, if not impossible.
• Ensure the sheet is securely attached to a flat surface before placing it in the freezer.
• Mangoes can be frozen for up to three hours or overnight.
• Put the frozen mangoes in a freezer-safe bag after they have frozen.
• So that you'll know how much time is left, mark the bag.

2. Simple Syrup Method

If you intend to use mangoes to make purees, sauces, or salads, they freeze best when covered in simple syrup. This technique can keep your mangoes well for up to a year.

• Put 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water in a medium pot. Up until the mixture reaches a boil, stir continuously. Place it aside so that it can cool.
• Mangoes should be peeled and cut into cubes. Put them in a container that can be frozen.
• After the syrup has cooled, pour it over the mangoes, allowing at least an inch of headspace for expansion.

3. Purée Method

This method works well when you still have leftover mangoes. This is also ideal if you anticipate using the fruit as a purée.

• The leftover mangoes should be chopped up and added to the blender.
• Purée until they are smooth (or until it reaches your desired consistency).
• Put freezer-safe containers with the purée. Think about how you intend to use the puree when choosing a container. For instance, why not pour them into ice cube trays if you're going to use them to make a glass of shake or smoothie so you can easily acquire individual serving sizes?

4. Freezing Method

Mangoes can be frozen. They rank among the fruits that freeze exceptionally well. Wait until the mango is fully ripe, then do the following actions to freeze it properly:

• Slice or chop the peeled, ripe mango into cubes.
• When you arrange the mango pieces on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, make sure that none of them touch one another.
• Put the baking sheet in the freezer for a minimum of two hours and a maximum of overnight.
• Squeeze as much air as possible from the freezer-safe bag before adding the frozen fruit pieces inside. Label the bag with the date and carefully close it.

When frozen in this way, mangoes can remain fresh for up to six months. To defrost frozen mangoes, simply leave them in the fridge overnight or submerge them in a saucepan of cold water. Within three hours, the fruit ought to be completely defrosted.

Vegan Mango Dessert Recipes

1. Vegan Mango Pudding

It's not surprising that this delightfully sweet and optimistic Chinese dish has gained popularity worldwide. It's a decadent, fruity, and mouthwatering creamy delight that is entirely dairy-free.

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Total time: 20 minutes | Servings: 8

Ingredients

• Mango purée: 2 cups
• Unsweetened coconut milk: 13½ oz
• Hot water: 1 cup
• Granulated sugar: 1 cup
• Agar agar: 5 teaspoons
• Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
• Salt: 2 pinches

Method

1. Get a sizable liquid measuring cup ready. Add the salt, sugar, agar agar, and boiling water. After thoroughly stirring, give the mixture five minutes to rest.
2. Peel the mangoes and chop the fruit into significant bits as you wait. Throw away the peels and pits. Put the mango chunks in the blender. 2 cups should be obtained after a smooth purée. (If necessary, scoop some out of the mixer.)
3. Vanilla and coconut milk should be added to the blender. Until smooth, puree. The gelatin mixture should then be added to the blender. Once more, puree until smooth.
4. Fill the tiny 4-ounce serving cups with the mango pudding. The cups should be set, covered, and refrigerated for 3 to 4 hours. Serve cool with a garnish of mint. Add toasted coconut, lime zest, or chopped cashews as a garnish.

2. Vegan Mango Cheesecake Bars

These vegan mango cheesecake bars are the ideal summer dessert. They are the ideal crowd-pleaser because they are incredibly creamy and simple to create.

Prep time: 30 minutes | Chilling time: 6 hours | Total time: 6½ hours | Servings: 15

Ingredients For The Base

• Nuts: 2 cups
• Desiccated coconut: ½ cup
• Medjool dates: 5
• Pinch of salt

Ingredients For The Filling

• Raw cashews: 1 cup
• Coconut cream: 360g
• Vegan cream cheese: 1 cup
• Lemon juice: 3 tablespoons
• Maple syrup: 1¼ cup
• Coconut oil: 1¼ cup

Ingredients For The Topping

• Potato starch: 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
• Mango puree: 1¼ cup

Method

• Blend all the base ingredients in a food processor until the mixture forms a ball when you pinch it. Using parchment paper, line a square baking pan (mine was 24 cm x 24 cm / 9.45 inches x 9.45 inches) and press the base firmly into the bottom of the pan.
• To make it flat, use the measuring cup's bottom. Add the cashews to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend for about 30 seconds. Then, incorporate the remaining filling components and blend the ingredients thoroughly.
• You'll need to pause several times and scrape down the sides. The filling ought to be rather substantial. Even out the mixture by pouring it on top of the base. Reserve in the fridge. Combine the cornstarch and lemon juice in a small saucepan, and combine.
• Check to see if there are any lumps. On medium heat, add the mango puree; simmer, occasionally stirring, for about 5 minutes or until it thickens. Take it off the stove and let it cool for 30 minutes. With a spatula, spread the purée evenly over the filling. Place for six hours or until set, ideally overnight, in the refrigerator. Avoid skipping this step because doing so will make it difficult to slice the bars.
• Slice the food to the desired size after removing it from the baking dish. My measurements were 6.5 cm by 4.5 cm or 2.56 inches by 1.77 inches. Sprinkle each slice with some lemon and lime zest (optional).
• Refrigerate the remaining food. It can be stored for 4-5 days.

9. Thai Mango Sticky Rice

The most popular Thai dessert is mango sticky rice. Learn how to create khao niaow ma muang at home with this simple recipe, which calls for steaming glutinous sweet rice, sweetened coconut cream, and fresh seasonal mango.

Prep time: 25 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes | Servings: 6

Ingredients

• Sweet rice: 2 cups
• Full-fat coconut milk: 13½ oz
• Sugar: 6 tablespoons
• Salt: ½ teaspoon
• Mangoes: 1-2 large
• Sesame seeds for garnish

Ingredients For The Coconut Cream Sauce

• Full-fat coconut milk: ⅔ cup
• Sugar: 3 tablespoons

Method To Soak The Rice

1. Place the rice in a sizable bowl with water. Make sure the basin is big enough to hold the rice and water. Soak the rice for at least an hour or even overnight. Encase the rice with cheesecloth.
2. After soaking for at least an hour, drain and rinse the rice, then place it in the middle of a big piece of cheesecloth.
3. Let the water drain. Afterward, slackly enclose the rice in the cheesecloth (loose yet secure enough that none of the grains can escape).

Method To Steam The Rice

1. Get your steamer ready. The inverted basket protects Rice wrapped in cheesecloth and sitting on top of the basket from the boiling water at the bottom of the pot. The objective is to avoid submerging the rice in water because we are steaming it.
2. Fill up your pot with water until it is about one inch full. To ensure it doesn't fall to the side and into the water, add the wrapped rice to the pot and set it on the steaming basket. Bring water to a boil over high heat while tightly covering the pan. Rice should steam at a simmering temperature for 15-20 minutes or until grains are transparent.

Method For The Coconut Cream Sauce

1. Heat one can of coconut milk over medium heat while the rice steams.
2. To keep the coconut milk from scorching or curdling, stir often.
3. While continually stirring until dissolved, add the sugar and salt.
4. Keep it heated and set aside.

Method To Construct It

1. Add the sweetened coconut milk to the big bowl with the steamed rice.
2. Cover. 5 minutes should pass while the rice rests and absorbs the coconut milk.
3. Make the sauce with coconut cream. Add the coconut cream (or milk) and sugar to a small saucepot.
4. Turn the heat down after bringing it to a low boil.
5. Until slightly thickened, simmer.

Method To Serve

• Serve a small serving of heated coconut sticky rice on a tiny plate with seasonal mango, coconut cream sauce, and perhaps a few sesame seeds.
