Spicy Mango Jelly – Gelatina de Mango con Chamoy
One of the most visited recipes on the blog are the spicy mango ice pops. They were one of the first recipes I shared. Now that I see the photos, I fill kind of ashamed 🙈. The good thing is that I’m sure I have improved in that area. But without doubt it is one of the combinations that I like the most, the mango with the acidic taste of the chamoy.
Una de las recetas más visitas del blog son las paletas heladas de mango con chamoy. Fueron de las primeras recetas que compartí, y ahora que veo las fotos me dan un poco de pena 🙈. Pero sin duda es una de las combinaciones que más me gustan, el mango con el sabor acidito del chamoy. Video recipes have become very popular, and it seems that when one of these recipes hits the craving spot, everyone shares it on their social networks. Last week, my Facebook was full of people sharing a video recipe with a mango and chamoy gelatin. The idea is amazing, but after thoroughly analyzing the recipe there were several things that didn’t convince me.
Los videos con recetas se han vuelto muy populares, y parece que una receta se pone de moda y todo mundo la comparte en sus redes sociales. La semana pasada, mi Facebook estaba lleno de personas que compartían la video receta para hacer una gelatina de mango con chamoy. La verdad la idea es buenísima, pero después de analizar a fondo la receta hubo varias cosas que no me convencieron. For example, they suggested using a bag of mango gelatin, but since we are in full mango season, I preferred to use the pulp of fresh mangoes. Some recipes that I found added condensed milk to the mango gelatin, and although it is a combination that I love, it didn’t make much sense if you combined it with chamoy. So, I created a recipe based more on my spicy mango ice pops.
Por ejemplo, sugerían utilizar un paquete de gelatina de mango, pero como estamos en temporada de mangos, yo preferí utilizar la pulpa de mangos frescos. Algunas recetas que encontré le añadían leche condensada a la parte de mango, y aunque es una combinación que me encanta, no me hacia mucho sentido combinada con chamoy. Así que cree una receta basándome más en las paletas heladas de mango y chamoy. I loved adding more chamoy powder at the time of serving. I would lie to you if I told you that I ate it with the same amount of chamoy with which I took the photos … it’s like 5 times that amount 🙈. It is definitely a dessert that is worth trying, at least I know many people who would be extremely happy with the recipe. It is undoubtedly a perfect dessert for a BBQ or a picnic.
A mi me encanto agregarle más chamoy en polvo al momento de servirla. Les mentiría si les dijera que me la comí con la misma cantidad de chamoy con el que teme las fotos…es como 5 veces esa cantidad 🙈. Pero sin duda es un postre que vale la pena probar, al menos conozco a muchas personas que estarían felices con la receta. Sin duda es un postre ideal para una carne asada.

Would frozen mangos work on this? My daughter is going to love this!! Thanks!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼👍🏽
Hi Patti, I’m sure frozen mangoes would work perfectly! The only thing is that I don’t know how much the pulp of 6 mangoes weigh 😟
Would a non silicon bunt pan work as well?
Hi Michelle! Personally I have never used a silicon bundt pan to make a jelly, but I have seen several jelly recipes on the internet that use one. I think the secret is to grease it really well and put it in a flat surface. If you make it, please let me know how it turned out.
What do you use to grease the Bundt pan?
I used light olive oil and brush it really well into the bundt pan
Hi, could I just dissolve the bloomed gelatin in the sauce pan with the other ingredients, instead of putting it in the microwave? Just wondering. This looks amazing I hope my daughter loves it.
Hi Esther! For better results, when working with gelatin, it’s better to dissolve the gelatin by itself, and then add it to the rest of ingredients. If you don’t want to use the microwave, you can use a heatproof bowl and place it on top of a bowl with hot water and stir until the gelatin dissolves. It’s important that the gelatin should never boil. Hope this is helpful! I’m sure your daughter will love it!
Hi,
I followed your ingredients exactly how you have them and the jello did not set. I think 20grams if gelatin is a little for 6 mangos. What do you think I might have done wrong? The flavor is delicious though 🙂
Hi Lola! Maybe it has to do with the variety of mangoes. The most common type in Mexico is mango Ataulfo. A medium mango is about 10 cm (4 inches) in length and 6 cm (2.5 inches) in width. Hope this helps!
