Nafa Hanif, a content creator who frequently shares recipes on YouTube, reveals some secrets to ensure your milk pudding can be soft, smooth, and long-lasting.

Ready to try and make your milk pudding the star of the dining table?

1. Prepare Milk Powder Properly

When using milk powder, the first crucial step is to dissolve it in water thoroughly. Nafa Hanif emphasizes that milk powder that is not well dissolved can cause a crust at the bottom of the pot, leading to burnt pudding. "Make sure the milk powder is completely dissolved to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot," Nafa explains in her video.

Once the milk solution is evenly mixed, only then is the pudding mixture ready to be cooked, ensuring your pudding is free from burnt aroma and has a soft, tempting texture.

2. Use Medium to Low Heat When Cooking

One of the secrets to creating perfect milk pudding that is free from cracks is to cook it over medium to low heat. Using too high a flame can have disastrous consequences, such as burnt milk or a pudding texture that is not smooth. With low heat, you can better control the heating process, ensuring the pudding mixture cooks perfectly.

Nafa Hanif also emphasizes the importance of patience in this step, as with perseverance, you will achieve delicious pudding without the risk of it breaking.

3. Stir the Pudding Mixture from Start to Finish

With great enthusiasm, Nafa Hanif reminds us of the importance of stirring the pudding mixture from start to finish. This technique is not just a step, but the key to avoiding troublesome lumps and ensuring the pudding's texture remains smooth and enticing.

"Stirring from the beginning is crucial to creating the perfect pudding," Nafa emphasizes, stressing that consistency in the stirring process is the secret behind a soft and delightful pudding in every bite.

4. Add Fruit After the Pudding Cools

To make your pudding even more appetizing, try adding fresh fruit pieces to it! However, there is a secret from Nafa that is worth trying: make sure the pudding is cool before mixing it with the fruit so that the sourness does not dominate and the texture remains perfect.

Additionally, you can also use fruit as a topping placed on top of the pudding, so the freshness and natural sweetness of the fruit are preserved, giving a special touch to your dessert!

5. Serve Pudding with Your Own Creativity

Once your milk pudding is cooked and cooled, it’s time to serve it with a special touch that will tantalize the taste buds! Whether in tempting small pieces or in a beautiful glass, this pudding retains its unmatched deliciousness.

As Nafa expressed, a creative finishing touch can transform a simple pudding into an impressive dish. Add fresh garnishes like mint leaves or a sprinkle of grated chocolate to beautify your pudding's appearance, and watch how this dish becomes the star of the dining table!
