Papaya And Egg Yolk Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
• Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
• Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until it has thickened to a puddinglike consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding and refrigerate until completely cooled and thickened, about 4 hours.
• Before serving, whisk the pudding vigorously until smooth and creamy.
• Stir-ins:
• Cookies and Cream: Crush 20 chocolate wafer cookies, stir some into the pudding and top with the rest.
• Fresh Berries and Gingersnaps: Fold in 2 cups of fresh, mixed berries and top with about 12 finely crushed gingersnaps.
• Vanilla-Banana: Fold in 3 sliced bananas. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Fold in 24 crushed vanilla wafer cookies and top with more sliced bananas.
• Rocky Road: Fold in 1 cup each mini marshmallows and toasted chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips.
• Peanut Butter* and Jelly (See Cook's Note): Fold in 1 cup quartered red grapes and 1/3 cup each chopped roasted peanuts and peanut butter chips. Top with whole grapes.

Steps:

• Combine the papaya, lime or lemon juice, and water in blender and blend at high speed for about 30 seconds. Scrape sides with a rubber spatula, and blend again until the mixture is a smooth purée.
• With the back of a spoon, rub the purée through a fine sieve into a 2- to 3-quart enamel or stainless-steel saucepan. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon stick and cloves and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat,.
• Stirring occasionally, cook briskly until the syrup reaches a temperature of 230°F on a candy thermometer or a few drops spooned into cold water immediately form coarse threads.
• Remove pan from the heat and, with a slotted spoon, remove and discard the cinnamon and cloves.
• In a deep bowl, beat the egg yolks with a wire whisk or a electric beater for about 1 minute, or until the yolks thicken slightly.
• While beating constantly, pour the hot syrup into the egg yolks in a thin stream and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and thick and is a bright, deep yellow color.
• Divide the mixture among four 4-ounce heatproof dessert dishes, and let cool to room temperature. The dessert will thicken further as it cools. Serve at once, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours and serve it chilled.

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. If making chocolate pudding, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks.
• Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
• Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.

Steps:

• Using a food processor or a rolling pin, finely crush the tea biscuits and set aside.
• In a double boiler fill the bottom with 2-3 inches of water, place it over medium-high heat, and bring it to a simmer. On the top of the double boiler stir the egg yolks and sugar. Keeping the water in the bottom at a slow simmer, continue to stir until the egg mix is smooth. Then using a whisk and stirring a little faster, pour in the milk and beat until it's a frothy creamy consistency. You can use a hand held mixer with a whisk attachment to make it easier.
• Remove from heat and let it cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl pour out the heavy whipping cream and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• To assemble the dessert, use the serving dish of your choice, layer the cookie crumbs first, then a layer of the sweet egg cream, then another layer of the crumbs, then a layer a the whipped cream. Last, add just a dusting of the cookie crumbs.
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but overnight is the best.
