Custard Pudding

After handing in my 'instant' pudding, hubby tried and asked, 'I tot u wanna try the same pudding that PB is selling?' So, I guess it means that even though the instant ones taste not bad, he is looking for that familiar taste that is so delish.

After looking around, I am trying the recipe from JustOneCookBook. I am trying both her steamed pudding and non-baked/steamed pudding. Her non-baked/steamed version indeed was tedious, cos got minor cooking involved. But the steps are quite similar to cooking custard when I make ice cream so it is quite alright to me. 

I tasted a bit of the pudding mixture as I was pouring them into the pudding bottles, I think it is somewhere there. But I still need to get my food critics at home to try it. Feeling so excited..

Verdict: It's almost 90% similar to the ones frm PB. I just need to improve on the consistency of the pudding, maybe reduce 2g of Gelatine. It's definetely a keeper... (If only can lesser the steps)

I am submitting this to the Little Thumbs Up "Egg" event hosted by Baby Sumo of Eat Your Heart Out, organized by Bake for Happy Kids, my little favourite DIY.
