Mango Pudding

There are some left over pudding powder left from previous batch and I decided to make some mango pudding with it. What a great way to cool down from the extreme hot weather lately. From the local mart, I managed to get 3 normal sized fresh mangoes. 

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
3 normal sized mangoes (close to 1kg)
pudding powder (follow the measurement based on your pudding powder. Calculate the amount required for about 1 liter of liquid)
110 gm of sugar (you may need to add more depending on the sweetness and sourness of the mangoes)
800 ml of water 
1/2 cup of milk

Steps
1. Cut the mangoes into cubes. 

2. Take 1/3 of the cut mangoes and puree them. I managed to get 200 ml of puree from it.

3. In a pot, add water, pudding powder, sugar and puree and bring to boil on low fire. Stir continously.

4. Once it starts to boil, add milk and stir for a few seconds until mixed. 

5. Turn off the fire. Add in the cut mangoes and stir.

6. Pour the mixture into jelly moulds evenly. (I managed to get 11 mango puddings using my jelly cup).

7. Cool for 10 minutes before putting into the fridge for another 2 hours.

8. Once chill, remove from mould, and serve. 

Peach Jelly (Agar-Agar)

Fancy a quick and easy dessert with a refreshing taste? Why not make some jelly or also known as agar-agar. It's easy to prepare and a delight for everyone especially during the hot weather. This dessert has sweet and sour taste due to the peach.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

                                     

Ingredients:

1 packet of agar agar powder. (I used the Swallow brand agar agar powder)

1 large can of peach fruit

300 ml of peach fruit syrup (you can get this from the can of peach fruit. Reserve the syrup within)

700 ml of water

110 gm of sugar

a few drops of lemon yellow coloring (optional)

Steps:

1.  Mix the agar agar powder, peach fruit syrup, water and sugar in a bowl.

2. On a low fire, bring the mixture to a boil and the sugar and agar agar powder dissolved. (Remember to stir it occasionally)

3. While waiting for the mixture to boil, cut the peaches into any shapes that you prefer. I cut mine into crescent and cubes. Then place them into jelly mould.

4. When the mixture is ready, add in a few drops of lemon yellow coloring so that the jelly will not be a plain clear color. Boil for another minute. You can skip this step if you do not want to use any coloring.

5. Pour the jelly liquid into the prepared jelly mould.

6. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before putting in the fridge and let it chill for another 2 hours.

7. After 2 hours, remove from mould and serve chill. Delicious :)
