A Simple Way Of Plating Pudding Desserts For Food Photography

Nice and mouth-watering color from Blue Pea Flowers Pudding With Longan Fruits. Basically, this is an Asian-friendly ingredient recipe because I'm using Blue Pea Flowers and Longan Fruits.

Longan fruit is a type of fruit that similar to lychee but with different outside skin shells. Longan fruits made this pudding more beautiful with a unique texture on the surface of the pudding.

I will share with you a simple way of plating the pudding. This can also be applied to other types of desserts. Of course, this method of plating can add artistic value to food or increase appetite with bright colors.

Stay tuned!

PREAPARING SAUCE

I don't have any fruit jam in stock. So I had to manually make the sauce for plating. So if you have fruit jam, you can use the jam straight away. Or you can adjust the texture by adding water or milk.

Here I am making strawberry sauce. I made this by cooking a mixture of cornflour with coconut milk and strawberry syrup. The result is a pink sauce that is soft and beautiful in color.

The thing that must be considered in making the sauce for the plating dessert is that you have to make a color that is not the same as the base color of the main dessert. It is to enliven the color of the dish on the serving plate.

SMALL DETAILS

For dessert plating, which is generally used for detail as the plating is ice cream or crumbs.

To be honest I don't like using ice cream on the plating as it will melt quickly and spoil the initial shape that is created on the plate.

So I prefer crumbs biscuits. Crush the biscuits to create finely textured crumbs.

For the record, use fresh or recently used biscuits so that they still smell good and taste good.

PLATING PROCESS

STEP 1

The first stage is forming the sauce. I use the rim of the glass to shape the sauce.
Put a glass on a plating plate. Then add the sauce to the edge of the glass.

Take a spoon, then pull the sauce downwards in the shape of a glass.

Without glass or round mold, the sauce will look messy. Or it doesn't matter at all if you have good hand gestures to shape the sauce.

STEP 2

Add the crumbs around the sauce carefully. Because the crumbs are smooth and spread easily, they will get dirty on the plate.

Pay more attention to plate cleanliness after adding crumbs.

STEP 3

Add longan fruits on top of the crumbs. You can also use other types of fruit.

The reason I use Longan is the same as the fruit I use in the pudding so that the overall taste of the dish will remain mixed and match.

So, be careful when you choose fruit for garnish. Don't let the fruit for the garnish spoil the overall taste of the dish.

STEP 4

To enhance the color of the dish, I add the strawberry sauce to the Longan fruits.

STEP 5

Add main desserts carefully. Don't spoil the previous sauce.

STEP 6

Add other details to your liking. Here I'm just adding Blue Pea Flowers at the end of the plate.
