As promised, here the next two puddings I indulged in this weekend. This one is Mango Cream. It's absolutely delicious. It's also very simple to make. I really hope you give it a go.Mango Cream Pudding with Almond Cookies
1 recipe mango cream*
1 box almond flavored cookies (I used ANNA’S Almond Cinnamon Thins)
1 mango, peeled and sliced or chopped into small cubes
½ cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
In individual dishes, layer cookies, fresh mango slices and pudding until you reach the top. For garnish, add a topping of whipped cream or Cool Whip and a mango slice. (I also added a couple of Pocky sticks. Mine were Almond Crush Chocolate Covered Biscuit sticks. They’re quite tasty.
MANGO CREAM
2 cup mango puree
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 tblsp unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
How to make mango cream:
Sprinkle the gelatin on 1/3 cup cold water, then dissolve, stirring, over low heat. Cool.
Mix the mango puree, sugar, lime juice and gelatin.
Whip the cream until stiff, then fold lightly but completely into the mango mixture.
Pour into a mold, rinsed out with cold water.
Refrigerate until set.
Unmold and serve plain, or decorated with slices of mango.
This next pudding is a Piña Colada lovers delight. It's coconut pudding layered with fresh pineapple.
Piña Colada Pudding
1 (3.4 ounce) box Jell-O Coconut Cream instant pudding and pie filling
1 ¾ cups cold milk
¼ cup light rum (or 2 cups cold milk and ¼ teaspoon rum flavoring)
1/2 cup shredded coconut, lightly toasted
1 small pineapple, peeled and sliced thinly (or use 1 eight ounce can of sliced pineapple)
small shortbread cookies (I used Keebler Sandies Shortbread: 100 calorie Right Bites)
½ cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
Pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries for garnish, optional
Whisk Jell-O pudding and milk/rum combination for 2 minutes. Allow to set for 5 minutes. Fold in ½ cup Cool Whip or whipped cream. Chill while preparing remaining ingredients.
Peel pineapple and slice thinly. Layer cookies, pineapple and pudding. Top with whipped cream or cool whip. Garnish with pineapple wedge and cherry if you want to. Give it a dusting of the toasted coconut too.

OMYGOODNESS Let me wipe the drool off my keyboard Teresa. Wow I thought the first round was so good. You have outdone yourself. That Pina Colada one looks amazing.
Each one of these looks better than the one before! Delicious ... but I imagine the fresh mango is especially good.
These both look and sound delicious. Mango is one of my favorite fruits and who doesn't love a pina colada?
Teresa, these are getting better and better every time.
Oh, Teresa! I don't think they make sf/ff coconut pudding yet. Why not??? I want to try this. I love pina colada anything. Your pictures are so well done. I'm going to share the mango pudding with my friend who is mango crazy...well, crazy period is a better description and she'd agree. :)
These are both so delicious!! And so refreshing to have in the middle of winter, brings a little bit of sunshine in. Yummy, yummy.

You are amazing. It's unbelieveable how many new recipes you post and display. I'm sure it's a lot of hard work, my friend!
