Preparations Lay the tea towel in the baking tray. Making the Caramel Whilst its on the heat, dont take your eyes off the pot. 1. Add the sugar and two tablespoons of water (not included in the ingredients list) to a small pan and put it on a medium heat. Now and then tilt the pan gently as it boils.

Using a knife cut the vanilla pod, take out the seeds from inside. Enjoy the sweet scent of Vanilla! Vanillas Advice The fragrance of vanilla here is the real thing! For the fragrance of sweets we usually rely on vanilla essence, its made from natural vanilla. Vanilla is a vine plant, abd the beans are actually seeds. Compared to vanilla essence, whats better than the smell is that you want to use all raw ingredients for such a simple pudding. But, if you cant get your hands on it, its Ok to use Vanilla essence.

6. In a small pan, add half the quantity of milk abd the sugar, cook it on a medium
heat. Heat it until just before it boils so that the sugar dissolves. 7. Take the small pan off the heat, add the rest of the milk and double cream to the bowl with eggs.

10. Line up the pudding cups in the tray, and fill the tray half full with hot water.
Place the tray in an 170 degree oven for 50 60 minutes. When it bakes in hot water, steam is created which finishes it properly. Ichigos Advice Too much or too little water is bad, it needs to be about half of the pudding cups height. (Oven Temperature 170 degrees, Times 50 60 minutes) 11. When you want to remove the pudding from the mould, use a pen knife and go once around the edge. 12. Turn the pudding cup upside down on a plate. 13.

1. Using a food processor, mix together the mango, granulated sugar and water to
make the mango puree. (See Figure A)

2. Put the mango puree into a saucepan, put it on a medium heat until all the
sugar is dissolved, once the sugar is dissolved take it off the heat. 3. Soak the gelatin sheets in 200 cc(ml) of water, and when they are thoroughly soaked wring out all the moisture and mix it, along with the lemon juice, into the mango puree. (See Figure C) 4.

made the mango gele. Pour it on top of the mango jelly once its cooled, and then stand upright in a refrigerator to solidify. Ichigos Sweets Memo Gele is the French word for Jelly.

good to use for many things.

Vanillas Sweets Magic. Using fruit hot, frozen, cold or raw is OK! B. You must soak the gelatin in water to use it ne!

C. Make sure the puree is still hot when you mix in the gelatin so it dissolves
properly. Make sure you squeeze the gelatin sheet out thoroughly before using it! D. Lean the glasses on a towel in a baking tray, so the liquid just touches the rim of the glass, this is to get the tilting layer. E. Make sure the mango jelly has completely hardened before you pour in the raspberry jelly. Vanillas Sweets Magic If you have time decorate it to finish!

which is why you measure out more (about 170 g) before melting.
