Ingredients

2½-3 cups mango chunks
½ cup water
1 cup full fat coconut milk
2-3 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (grass-fed, use 2 tbsp for a custard-like consistency and 3 tbsp for a firmer consistency)
¼-½ cup honey
1½ tbsp lime juice

Instructions

Puree about 2.5 cups of mango chunks in a high-powered blender or food processor until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of puree and set aside.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and stir to combine. This is called blooming the gelatin, which basically means preparing it to dissolve instead of forming clumps in the jello.
Place the mango puree, coconut milk, 1/4 cup honey, and lime juice in a medium pot. Taste and add more honey if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on medium-low for 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and add the gelatin. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
Divide the mixture into small jars. Refrigerate until firm (about 2-4 hours), then serve.
