EQUIPMENT YOU NEED FOR THE MILK PUDDING BITES
This recipe doesn’t require a lot of equipment. Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons are an integral part of any baker’s kitchen and it’s very important to measure ingredients with precision.
A heavy bottom saucepan and a whisk is required to combine everything together. A spatula is my favourite kitchen equipment.
You also need an induction or a heat source to heat the mixture.
For the mould to set the pudding, I have used a loaf pan, you can use any shaped baking pan to set the pudding.
INGREDIENTS USED IN MILK PUDDING BITES
Milk:
Milk is the primary ingredient and the star of milk pudding bites. It provides the base and the creamy texture to the dessert. The fat content in the milk contributes to the richness of the pudding. Whole milk or full-fat milk is often preferred for a creamier result, although variations can be made with low-fat milk for a lighter version.
Sugar:
Sugar sweetens the pudding, balancing the natural dairy flavors. It dissolves in the milk during cooking, creating a smooth, sweet mixture. The amount of sugar added can be adjusted based on personal preference, but it’s crucial for enhancing the overall taste of the dessert.
Cornflour:
Cornflour acts as a thickening agent in milk pudding bites. When mixed with cold liquid and then heated, it thickens the mixture, giving the pudding its smooth and silky consistency. Cornflour helps the pudding set properly, transforming the liquid ingredients into a soft, yet firm texture. It’s essential for achieving the perfect pudding consistency.
Milk powder:
Milk powder, in this context, is used for coating the milk pudding bites. After the pudding is set and cut into bite-sized pieces, these pieces are often coated with a thin layer of milk powder. This serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Functionally, the milk powder prevents the pudding pieces from sticking together. Aesthetically, it adds a velvety texture to the outer layer, enhancing the overall mouthfeel and presentation of the dessert.
TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE MILK PUDDING BITES AT HOME
- Full-fat milk will give better texture and flavour so prefer using that.
- Remove the mixture as soon as it starts to thicken, or else it will become lumpy.
- Make sure you are continuously whisking the mixture to ensure there are no lumps.
- Patience is key when making milk pudding bites. Allow sufficient time for the pudding to set in the refrigerator. This usually takes a few hours. A well-set pudding ensures a smooth and consistent texture.
- Use a sharp clean knife to cut the cubes equally.
