Moss Pudding From Leftover Ingredients

Create pudding with a beautiful moss-like appearance with egg and coconut milk ingredients.

If there is a leftover in the kitchen, I remember my late mother's message. Don't throw away even a small amount of food. The food will cry and we will lose the blessing. To this day, I always remember those words. This makes me wiser in managing leftover ingredients from previous cooking processes.

This time I will use the egg mixture leftover from my previous recipe Baked Bread Desserts. There is a mixture of eggs and coconut milk that is no longer used. So, on that day, I immediately thought about what I could make of the mixture.

Because the leftover has a slightly sweet taste, so I thought of something sweet. I have lots of little nieces and nephews who would be happy if I sent them food. So, I decided I would make moss pudding.


Why Moss Pudding?

Actually, it is said to be moss pudding because the pudding has a pattern like moss. Also, it's green. The green color comes from pandan leaf juice ingredients.

The moss pattern comes from the egg ingredients which form lumps in the agar powder mixture. That's why we also have to use Agar powder or gelatin as well to create this type of pudding.

There are many variations of moss pudding. For example brown sugar moss pudding for brown-golden in color, and more. So, if you have no green one, you can just brown sugar to create another variation.


Anyway, if you have no leftovers like mine, you can use 200 ml of coconut milk and 2 eggs.


The Ingredients

  • 200 ml of egg mixture leftover (fresh 2 eggs and 200 ml of coconut milk)
  • 600 ml of pandan leaf juice
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp or Agar powder

The Cooking Instructions

STEP 1

A62547BF-A67A-404C-B9F7-DBA549B5B473.jpeg
Making pandan leaf juice. I used 10 pandan leaves with 600 ml of water. After blending, strain them and make sure you only use 600 ml of total pandan leaf juices.



STEP 2

Add Agar powder and more sugar into egg mixtures. Then, blend well.



STEP 3

In a saucepan, add pandan juices. Then, add the egg mixture. Blend them well before turning on the heat.



STEP 4

Turn on the heat, with just a small heat. Then, cook the mixture. Just stir occasionally. Let it come to a boil.

When it boils, we will see that custard forms on the surface of the mixture. Turn off the heat, and stir the mixture to remove the hot steam.



STEP 5

Prepare a pudding mold, or just use general glasses or even small bowls. Transfer the mixture into molds after the hot steam disappears.

Then, leave it to set. I just put them at room temperature, and they set by themselves. But, we have to remember that the thicker the layer of pudding in the mold, the longer the set time will be. So, it's better to use small pudding molds like mine.



The Results

For your information, when this blog was written, all the moss pudding had been eaten by my family members. :) glad no leftovers in my kitchen.

Moss pudding has a soft texture, not chewy even if you use Agar powder. The soft texture is obtained because it uses a mixture of eggs and also coconut milk.

Glad, moss pudding is loved by many people here. So, until next on my kitchen stories, foodies!

The food will cry

Really? This is a very common expression in our country. Especially when a child doesn't eat, they say that food cries after you.

By the way, I don't know what better dessert to make from leftovers. Perfect.

What a skill, friend. They are so cute that looking at them makes me hungry. I've been researching about these Pandan leaves, as they have nutritional and medicinal properties and are widely used in Southeast Asia to garnish dishes. I guess we can find some substitute here for our dishes. Maybe mint or anise leaves.
I always think about these delights you make. And this, for example, I've never thought of using leaves from a plant in a dessert.
