COCONUT-MANGO MALVA PUDDING

Coconut-Mango Malva Pudding image

My friend shared this amazing malva pudding recipe with me. Malva pudding is a dense, spongy cake drenched in a rich, sticky butter sauce. My slow-cooker, tropical spin incorporates a creamy coconut sauce and juicy mangoes! -Carmell Childs, Orangeville, Utah

Ingredients

4 large eggs, room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned coconut milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 medium mangoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

In large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, apricot preserves and butter until combined. Add coconut milk, vanilla and vinegar; stir to combine (batter will be thin). In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into batter just until moistened. Transfer to a greased 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out with moist crumbs, 2-1/2 to 3 hours., Meanwhile, for sauce, whisk together coconut milk, butter, sugar, apricot preserves and extract until smooth. Poke holes in warm cake with a skewer or chopstick. Pour mixture evenly over pudding; let stand to allow pudding to absorb sauce, 15-20 minutes. Serve with chopped mango, coconut and a dollop of whipped topping.
