This cold dessert is often available in Chinese restaurants. I decided
to make some, following
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mango_pudding.html

It's simple enough, being a mango pulp thickened with agar or gelatin
but there are steps that turn out quite unnecessary. We are told
"2.Place mango in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
Push through a very fine sieve into a large measuring cup until you have
2 cups puree. (Reserve any extra fruit or puree for a smoothie or yogurt
topping.) Whisk the mango puree, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice
in a medium bowl."

I simply pureed the mango, lime juice and condensed milk without
straining. The results were very good.

I bet it would be even better with coconut milk.

Could be, but you might have to add some sugar and the original recipe
calls for fat-free sweetened condensed milk.

I'd be fine with that, would you?

The sweetened condensed milk gives just the right sweetness. If you used
coconut milk, you'd have to determine the sugar by inspection....nothing
really wrong with that.
