Can I use frozen mango for this recipe?

Absolutely! Frozen mango works perfectly and is often more affordable than fresh. Simply thaw the mango pieces and blend as directed. Frozen mango may release more liquid, which can actually enhance the pudding's creaminess.

What's the best milk to use for mango basil seed pudding?

Coconut milk is the top choice for tropical flavor, but any milk works well. Almond milk keeps it light and nutty, while oat milk adds natural creaminess. For the richest result, try full-fat coconut milk from a can.

How long does this pudding last in the refrigerator?

Your mango basil seed pudding stays fresh for up to four days when stored properly in airtight containers. The basil seeds maintain their texture throughout this time, though you may need to stir before serving as ingredients can settle.
