Agar-agar milk pudding with condensed milk and raspberry
This pudding features agar-agar to set a creamy milk base blended with condensed milk and layered with fresh or frozen raspberries cooked with sugar and a touch of agar-agar. The jelly-like raspberry layer rests beneath a smooth milk pudding showcasing mild sweetness and a subtle salt pinch to enhance flavors. The dessert balances tart fruit and creamy textures with a gentle gelled structure.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder
- ⅔ cup condensed milk see the note.
- 3 cups milk see the note, whole
- 5 teaspoons corn starch or cornflour
- Pinch salt see the note
- 2 cups raspberry frozen or fresh
- ½ cup water
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Get your pudding mould ready, the one that can hold approximately 1.5-litre liquid.
- Put most of your raspberries on the bottom of the mould. Leave about 10-15 raspberries for the pudding.
- In a small saucepan, put the rest of the raspberries in. Add the water, sugar and ½ teaspoon of agar-agar powder.
- Heat it at medium heat as you stir and mash the fruits.
- When it reaches boiling point, continue to cook further for another 3 minutes as you keep stirring.
- Then pour the mixture over the raspberries little by little. You don’t want to pour it all out at one go. Otherwise, the fruits will float up (see the note).
- When your berries pudding is almost set you can start cooking your milk pudding.
- In a saucepan, put about 650 ml of the milk in together with the rest of agar-agar powder (1 ½ tsp), condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and boil it at medium heat.
- Take care and keep stirring.
- At the same time put the rest of the milk in a measuring jug and add in the cornflour. Stir it well, and set aside.
- When you see fine boiling bubbles around the milk in the saucepan, pour some of the milk into the milk & cornflour mixture. Using a whisk, stir carefully.
- Then put the mixture back into the saucepan, and continue to cook.
- Keep stirring every now and again until the mixture is boiling.
- After about 3 minutes boiling, pour the milk mixture in the mould on the top of your raspberry mixture.
- Let it set and enjoy your pudding.
Notes
- You can substitute condensed milk with a mix of granulated sugar, milk, and agar-agar powder if preferred.
- Pour the raspberry mixture slowly over berries to keep them at the bottom without floating.
- Semi-skimmed or skimmed milk can replace whole milk; for vegan versions, use coconut or almond milk with vegan condensed milk.
- A pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and flavor of the pudding.
- Make sure the milk pudding is ready before the raspberry layer fully sets so layers bind well.
