Homemade Pudding

There are lots of things i love to do, for example like sleeping, eating delicious food, reading, relaxing, thinking, etc etc and that includes cooking. Haha, a lazy guy like me actually enjoying making dishes, desserts and tasty food, that's probably surprising.

So, yesterday while shopping with brother in nearby town, i happened to notice the pudding powder they were selling in the shop, while looking under 'dessert area' for mom's wanted jelly powder. I have never had experience in learning or making pudding myself, but somehow the delicious and beautiful pudding pictures on the packages started to get my attention. My mind already began to imagine eating the sweet pudding of different flavour, and i can see pudding floating in front of my eyes, and my salivary glands already secreating saliva...Well, did i have a choice but to buy the pudding powder?

The pudding powder itself wasn't really expensive, only cost like less than RM10, and it comes with instructions on the package itself, which makes my work easier, or else i ll have to look it up in the internet for recipe. It also comes with fruit flavour already, and i chose strawberry flavour, though there were lots of other fruit flavour like mango, honey dew and etc. Aha, so everything was ready, except that according to the instructions on the back of the package, i need evaporated milk. Not really sure what was it at first (you can imagine now how deep is my knowledge in cooking, haha), except that i know that it must be one of those milk that they sell in cans. Finally, after looking around, i found them, and purchased one. Other than that, nothing else i need, as i have other ingredients at home.

At first i wanna to make the pudding after i shower, since i want to be clean, fresh and ready for my 1st 'pudding making experiment', but since my mom wanna to use the kitchen(dinner soon), so i had no choice to make them in the evening. Read the instructions again and again, i wanna to make sure totally no mistake and more importantly, i don't want to waste my money spent on this powder, and also i wanna to eat pudding, hahaha. The ingredients are as follow:
3000ml of clean water,100g of sugar, 400ml of evaporated milk, fruit sugar (comes with the package), and whole package of pudding powder with fruit flavour.

It's sure sound simple for me, and the instructions in making are also very easy, not much in techniques and experience, so i guess a noobie like me can definitely make it. And of course, to think of the beautiful pudding that will soon be made and eaten by me, those yummy taste, those soft texture surely increased my determination and spark up my spirit in making it right.

Stirred here and there, boiled the water, mixed the ingredients, pour this and there....Faster than i thought, it was there, pink in colour and still in liquid form (still very hot). My mom has always some plastic containers (small, to contain jelly-like food), and decided to lend me some, after she saw the fire in eyes and my dripping saliva. Put all the warm liquid strawberry pudding into the mould, i can smell the sweet milk with strawberry flavour coming from the pot. Well, how to describe that feeling....Emmm,exciting? Yes, very much.

Looked like i have succeeded, and Thank God, i didn't fail and wasted all the money.My reward? I got to eat pudding, that's of course. Other than that, i was able to gain more experience in cooking, and a feeling triumph and a sense of satisfaction inside me, it was good. There are total 9 pudding i made, which were almost all big saiz one. After letting them to cool down, i carefully put them into the fridge. Well, i don't want to drop them and all my effort will be in vain, and then my pudding will say goodbye to me. Yes, i made it, i made it, i made it! All on my own, hahaha.

I had just tried them just now, and they tasted really good, and best of all, i didn't get poisoned also, hahaha. It's cool, soft, smooth, and when eaten, fresh milk taste is embedded in it together with the sweet sensation of strawberry. They are all good, and i am really happy with them. And now...Emmmm, yum yum.




(P/S : I am eating the pudding now while writing on this blog...yummy)
