Ingredients:
Milk- 1 1/2 cups
Sweetened Condensed milk- 3/4 of the 14 oz can
Vanilla extract-1 tsp
Pineapple chopped, fresh or canned- 3/4 cup
Sugar-1 tbsp
Agar Agar strands- 1/4 cup of 1 inch strands dissolved in 1/4 cup water (or use 2 1/2 teaspoons of Gelatin)
For Praline
Sugar-1/3 cup
Water-1 to 2 tbsp
Chopped nuts- 3/4 cup(i used cashew nuts)
Method: In a sauce pan, add milk, add condensed milk, combine well. Let come to a slight boil and then simmer for 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and the cooked pineapple. Combine well. Add dissolved agar agar (or softened gelatin) and mix well. Do not heat further. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a round bowl or ramekins, let cool down. Granish it with the praline mixture. Keep it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hrs or until it has set well.
To prepare Praline: In a nonstick pan, stir in sugar and water. Heat until sugar dissolves. Cook until the syrup turns pale amber color. Gently swirl the pan in between. Add the chopped nuts and stir well. Mix well until combined. Continue to cook until the color changes to deep amber. Immediately transfer onto a grease tray, spreading it as thinly as possible. Allow to cool completely and crush it using a rolling pin. Keep aside.
Notes:
If using fresh pineapple: Place a sauce pan over low-medium heat, sauté the chopped pineapple with 1 tbsp of sugar until the sour taste goes away. Don’t burn or over cook the pineapple.
If using canned pineapple, saute without adding the sugar (as the canned pineapple has sugar in it).
If using agar agar strands: Put the strands in 1/4 cup water and heat it until the strands dissolve in water. You could strain the agar agar dissolved in water to discard any tiny strands it might have. Keep it aside. Don’t keep for too long as it would thicken fast.
If using Gelatin: Sprinkle 2 1/2 tsp gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water and let stand for 5 minutes till gelatin softens.
Happy Cooking!
