Description

A naturally sweet strawberry pudding made with organic strawberries, rice milk, apple juice, agar-agar flakes, kuzu, and rice syrup. Light, refreshing, and gently set, it is best chilled overnight and served with mint leaves and fresh strawberries.

How-to? Steps

Step 1: Heat the liquids

Put the rice milk and apple juice into a small pot. Add the agar flakes and bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Dissolve agar

Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the agar flakes melt.

Step 3: Add kuzu

Dissolve the kuzu in the cold water and slowly stir it into the mixture. Stir well to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Thicken

Simmer for 5 minutes, until thickened. Add the rice syrup and stir well.

Step 5: Set

Spread the strawberries on a flat baking dish. Pour the hot liquid over the top and allow it to cool.

Step 6: Chill and serve

Chill in the fridge overnight. Serve decorated with mint leaves and fresh strawberries. Use agar-agar flakes, not agar powder.
