This recipe was given to me by a muslim colleague who is a close friend of mine. She will be celebrating the Hari Raya Puasa this coming Sunday. Rejoicing after 30 days of fasting. And we also celebrate together with them…the One Malaysia concept :p :))) lots of rendang, lemang, ketupat and all the yummy cookies....looking forward to all the open house parties!
This is her famous lychee jelly pudding which she will always bring for our Raya party and I am so glad when she shared her recipe with me. Without waiting further I made them yesterday for the Piggies are on their way back for the 2nd sem break….yay two whole weeks with them and thus the baking craze is on…now is the time to bake new recipes, for the tasters are back home….stay tuned for more bakes that I have been itching to try out :p
This jelly pudding is very delicious and it is neither too soft nor hard. The texture is between a pudding and jelly. The milky lychee flavor is subtle thus you can eat really non stop. The Piggies will have a good dessert , jelly pudding and their favourite rich chocolate cake will be served after dinner tonight. Ain’t they blessed to have this super Momsie preparing their favourite dishes and desserts ? :) Put it this way, I am actually the blessed one to have them as my Piggies …if not who is going test out my bakes! Whether it is a success or failure…they will have to gobble down LOL! (“,)
texture is smooth...not too soft and neither hard....
does this look like a jelly mooncake...:))))
I love this lychee and milk flavored chilled jelly pudding
the Piggies will squeal with delight....can I tell them this is a
new jelly mooncake....haha you think they will believe me???
