==In supermarkets==
Outside of dim sum and other restaurants, mango pudding can also be purchased at most Asian grocery stores or supermarkets. They can be purchased as a powder, which requires the addition of boiling milk or water to the powder, or in ready-to-eat portions.{{Cn|date=February 2025}}

Factory-made mango pudding does not contain fresh mangoes and instead, consists of mango essence and either gelatin or agar.{{Cn|date=February 2025}}
