Instructions
PREPARE THE RED JELLY
Prepare the jelly as instructed on the packet. Set it in a tray. You want the set jelly to be about 1"- 2" in height.
Cut heart shaped jelly with a cookie cutter. Leave it in the fridge till required.
PREPARE THE MILK PUDDING:
Sprinkle the agar agar powder over the water in a small pan and mix. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Mix milk, condensed milk and sugar in a deep pan.
Put the pan with milk over medium heat till it begins to boil. Stir the milk frequently.
Put the hot milk pan on the side.
Heat the agar agar mixture over low heat. Stir is constantly till the agar agar dissolves completely.
Add the agar agar mixture to the hot milk.
Add vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the milk into serving bowls or glasses.
Put it the fridge for 3-4 hours till it sets.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Decorate the pudding with the heart shaped jelly.
SECOND METHOD - MILK PUDDING WITH JELLY
Alternatively you can add chopped jelly to the serving bowls or glasses.
Pour the milk mixture over it. Make sure it has cooled down a bit so that the set jelly does not melt.
Put it in the fridge for 3-4 hours to set.
Top each set milk pudding with heart shaped jelly and serve.
Notes
* If you are going to set it with the jelly than you may not want to add the sugar as the jelly is sweet.
Use any coloured jelly of your choice to make this cool milk pudding. Try a rose milk flavoured one.I find its an easy pudding to make and a treat during the hot season.
Use gelatin instead of agar agar if you like.
Serve it with chopped fresh fruit instead of jelly.
