Who doesn't love a smooth, creamy, and fruity dessert? Our fruity milk pudding is the perfect sweet treat that is not only easy to make but also looks amazing.

With just a few simple ingredients like fresh fruits, milk, and a setting agent, we can create a delicious pudding that melts in our mouths. Let's dive into this easy and fun recipe together, Lykkers!

What Makes Fruity Milk Pudding So Special?

This pudding is light, refreshing, and bursting with the natural sweetness of fruits. Unlike store-bought puddings, we can customize this one with our favorite fruits, making every bite unique. Plus, the texture is silky smooth, thanks to ingredients like gelatin or agar. Best of all, there's no baking involved—just a little mixing and chilling!

Understanding the Setting Agents

Before we start, let's talk about what helps our pudding set. We can use different setting agents like gelatin, agar powder, or white jelly powder. Here's how they compare:

• Gelatin: Light brown in color, made from fish parts, and commonly used in mousses and jellies. It gives a soft yet bouncy texture.

• White Jelly Powder: A plant-based option that creates a smooth, slightly firmer pudding. It's translucent and commonly used in Asian desserts.

• Agar Powder: Another plant-based alternative, extracted from seaweed. It sets much firmer than gelatin and is often used in vegan recipes.

If we want a store-bought jelly-like texture, gelatin is the best choice. White jelly powder creates a softer texture, perfect for homemade puddings.

Ingredients You'll Need

To make this fruity milk pudding, we need:

• 1 mango (or strawberries, dragon fruit, or any fruit you like)

• 250ml milk

• 30g white sugar

• 20g gelatin powder (or 30g white jelly powder)

Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Fruits

First, let's chop our chosen fruit into small bite-sized pieces. Mango, strawberries, dragon fruit, or even pineapple work great.

Step 2: Heat the Milk Mixture

In a small pan, add milk and sugar. Heat it over low flame while stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves. Next, add the gelatin powder while stirring quickly to avoid clumps. If using gelatin sheets, soak them in cold water beforehand until soft, then add them to the warm milk mixture.

Step 3: Pour and Chill

Now, pour the mixture into a dish with the chopped fruits. Let it cool down a little before covering it with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until it sets completely.

Step 4: Unmold and Cut

Once firm, take the pudding out of the fridge and gently remove it from the mold. Use a tool to cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Dessert!

Now it's time to serve! We can enjoy it as is or add a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Tips for a Perfect Pudding

• The milk-to-gelatin ratio is usually around 10:1. If we want a firmer pudding, we can add a little more gelatin.

• Stir continuously while heating the milk to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

• Want a richer taste? Swap some milk for heavy cream for an extra creamy texture.

• Feel free to experiment with different fruits—each one adds its own flavor and color to the pudding.
