Hey Lykkers! Today we're going to make a simple yet delicious dessert that's perfect for those cozy afternoons when you need a sweet snack.
This milk pudding with biscuits is easy to prepare, and it's a great treat for both kids and adults.
With fresh milk and fruits, you get a tasty, nutritious dessert that's light on the stomach and satisfying to the sweet tooth. Let's dive into how to make this sweet creation!
Ingredients You'll Need
To make this milk pudding, here's what you'll need:
• 1 pack of pure milk
• 1 dragon fruit
• 1-2 kiwis
• 4 sheets of gelatin
• A little rock sugar
• 2 pudding containers
These ingredients combine to create a fresh and fruity twist on traditional pudding. Let's get started on the preparation!
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
First, we'll need to peel the dragon fruit and kiwis. Cut the fruit into small cubes and set them aside. Then, soak the gelatin sheets in warm water to soften them, so they dissolve easily when added to the milk and fruit mixtures later.
Step 2: Heat the Milk
Pour the pure milk into a pan and gently heat it up to around 40°C (104°F). Once it's warm, add two sheets of gelatin and a small amount of rock sugar to the milk. Stir everything together until both the gelatin and sugar are fully dissolved. This step helps create a smooth and creamy base for our pudding.
Step 3: Let the Milk Set
Once the milk has reached a gentle simmer, carefully pour it into your pudding containers. Allow the milk to cool down and solidify into a soft, creamy pudding layer. Once it's set, we can move on to the next step. This is where the fun fruity layer will come in!
Step 4: Prepare the Fruit Syrup
In another pan, add 150ml of warm water. Next, place your cubed dragon fruit, kiwi, gelatin sheets, and rock sugar into the pan. Gently heat the mixture over low heat until the gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. Be careful not to bring the mixture to a full boil, as we don't want the fruit's nutrients to be lost in the process. Low heat will do the job just fine, allowing the fruit to retain most of its natural flavor and goodness.
Step 5: Add the Fruit Layer
Once the fruit syrup is ready, pour it over the milk pudding in the containers. Let everything cool down and set again. You'll now have a beautiful two-layer pudding, with the creamy milk base and the fruity topping. The flavors will mix together as the pudding sets, and the result will be a deliciously refreshing treat!
Time for Biscuits!
Now, what's a perfect dessert without a crunchy companion? Let's make some crispy, sweet biscuits to go with our pudding. Here's what you'll need for the biscuit dough:
• 1 egg
• 2 egg yolks
• 50g white sugar
• 80g cake flour
Step 1: Beat the Eggs
Start by placing the whole egg, the two egg yolks, and all of the sugar into a mixing bowl. Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Warm Water Bath
Next, prepare a warm water bath (around 50°C or 122°F) in a larger bowl. Place your egg mixture bowl inside the water bath, making sure it's not too hot to touch. Now, beat the egg mixture at high speed until it becomes light in color and forms clear ribbons. Once it reaches this stage, reduce the mixer speed to low to help smooth the texture further. This step ensures your biscuits will be soft and light.
Step 3: Sift in the Flour
Once the egg mixture is ready, sift the cake flour into the mixture in small batches. Use a folding motion to gently incorporate the flour without deflating the egg mixture. You should be left with a smooth, delicate batter.
Step 4: Pipe the Biscuits
Transfer your batter into a piping bag, then pipe small biscuit shapes onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to scoop out the batter and drop it onto the tray. Keep the shapes small, as they will puff up a bit during baking.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F), and bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes. You'll know they're done when they're slightly golden around the edges, and you can smell the delicious fragrance filling the kitchen. Let them cool down once they're out of the oven, and they'll be crispy and ready to enjoy!
Enjoy Your Sweet Treat!
Once your biscuits have cooled, it's time to enjoy the final creation. The soft, creamy milk pudding pairs perfectly with the crisp, sweet biscuits. Whether you're treating yourself to a relaxing afternoon snack or serving it to friends or family, this simple dessert is sure to satisfy everyone's sweet cravings. So, Lykkers, what are you waiting for? Get into the kitchen, and treat yourself to this easy, delightful dessert today!
