A Plant-based Dessert Recipe.
What do you do with Abundant Carrot? Stop talking about salads this time. It's too boring, especially for kids.
I always make food that the kids can like too. But most importantly we can take the health benefits of these food ingredients.
How about we make Carrot Jelly Pudding? Sounds weird? If usually jelly pudding is more familiar with fruit ingredients, this time we will have a variety of vegetables in the ingredients.
Carrot and Coconut Milk Jelly Pudding
This dessert can be an alternative to delicious carrots for those who don't like to eat carrots.
Since childhood, I have always used to eat carrots to prevent eye damage. But with this recipe, we would not think eating carrots would be this delicious and aesthetic!
Then, why do I add coconut milk? In Indonesia, the pudding recipe adds coconut milk for a creamier and smoother taste.
I added coconut milk to this carrot pudding to add a creamy flavor while giving an interesting pattern to the pudding surface. So the result looks like it has a beautiful two-tone gradient. Perfect!
So, this dessert actually has two mixtures. I also form coconut milk jelly pudding in my own mold, after I have the rest for this jelly pudding mixture.
THE INGREDIENTS
Carrot Mixture:
- 200 grams of carrots
- 500 ml of water
- 7 grams of agar powder
- 200 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Coconut Milk Mixture
- 800 ml of coconut milk
- 7 grams of agar powder
- 100 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1
Blend the carrots with 500 ml of water. Then in a cooking pan, mix with sugar, agar powder, and vanilla essence.
- Step 2
Continue to stir the carrot juice mixture and the agar powder to a boil. Make sure the mixture is completely boiling so that later it can set perfectly into jelly pudding.
- Step 3
Remove the carrot mixture, stir briefly to remove hot steam, then transfer to pudding molds. Set aside.
- Step 4
Prepare a coconut milk mixture. Mix coconut milk with agar powder, sugar, and vanilla essence. Cook until it boils, stirring constantly.
- Step 5
After the coconut milk mixture boils, it's time for us to do an important task. Slowly add coconut milk mixture to the carrot mixture mold.
Use a soup spoon to pour the coconut milk mixture so as not to destroy the shape of the carrot mixture pudding.
Here, I'm not using the whole coconut milk mixture. So, I printed the rest coconut milk mixture on another pudding mold.
- Step 6
Once chilling down, put the jelly pudding in the refrigerator at least two hours before serving.
Carrot and Coconut Milk Jelly Pudding are ready to be served. Yummy and healthy!
We can see the carrot texture that creates the unique texture of this dessert. Like jelly that is chewy, but still soft like pudding.
As usual, my three nephews waited for me to finish the food photoshoot then ate this Carrot and Coconut Milk Jelly Pudding without remaining!
I want you to try this recipe at home. You can find ingredients for jelly according to your version, you don't have to use agar powder.
