Of late I've not been having much to say. So well, this is a pudding. It's dainty and it's pink! It's one of my dessert darlings - neither too sweet nor too heavy - a gentle mouth amuser.
Fresh strawberries-25 nos (should bring 11/2 cup pulp)
Granulated sugar-3/4 cup
Gelatin-11/2 tbsp
Egg white-2
Whipping cream-11/4 cup
Cold water-1/4 cup
Soak gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Once it's properly soaked add 1/4 cup boiling water to it and melt the gelatin. Mash strawberry in a bowl; mix it with the sugar; and refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Add gelatin to the strawberry-sugar and blend well with a spatula and refrigerate for a short while. Take it out and add the whipping cream and mix well again. Beat the egg white in a separate glass bowl (make sure it's completely dry; otherwise stiff peaks won't form) till stiff peaks form and fold in atop the entire mix. Keep it 3 hours in the refrigerator or freeze it for 1/2 hour.
Take it out and enjoy the dainty morsels.
I mix in the egg white too and do not leave it atop. So my pudding is a gloppy mass and not the slice-able gelatin pudding.

Dear Thoma,
Loved the new look of your blog. Sorry gal, for not keeping in touch for so long :( - Your blog is jazzed up and the recipes look great - kotthu parantha is my fav which i could easily lap up and have this pudding for dessert heartily...BURP!
looks wonderful & tasty..;)
Tasty Appetite
That's a delicious and pretty pudding...
Thank you Thoma for all your lovely words... you have always been a special one among my readers.. Hugs!! :)
Oh, this is so beautifully photographed...and delicious, too!!! I just love berry desserts :)
PS...I answered your ice cream question (well, sort of!), on my blog, but I'll repeat it here. What I didn't say is that there are all sorts of methods...some that you cook first, some that you don't. So you could find a recipe that doesn't need a thermometer. I think ice cream is easier to make than anything you bake, so you'll be fine.
If you want to guestimate when your custard reaches 170º, I'd just wait till you see it steaming...since 212º is boiling, you want it below that temp...maybe just a few tiny bubbles around the edges... Hope that helps a bit (I think you want above 160 for egg safety...but not much higher to keep the custard creamy).
Have a great week!!!!
But the gloppy part is fun!!!
Patty: You do have a way with words :p
Mj: I used sachets for this. It's a near-thick batter consistency.
Nisha: I've tried some gelatin flop desserts too. Look up my Eunice Cheesecake Pudding. Tht's fool proof.
Beautiful in Pink !! I love this.
