What is the white jelly for making pudding?

White jelly is a famous snack in southern China. It is usually made from jelly grass, rice, mung bean starch, pea starch, sweet potato starch, etc., and an appropriate amount of plant gum is also added. It is tender, crystal clear, refreshing and delicious, and is very suitable for consumption in summer.

Although the ingredients used to make white jelly may be different, the taste is roughly the same.

In addition to being made into pudding with fruits and milk, jelly can also be directly added with cold water, stirred evenly and boiled, and then poured with sugar water when eaten.

Is pudding high in calories?

High in calories

The ingredients of pudding and jelly are actually very different. Pudding is mainly made of eggs, flour and milk, while jelly is made of flavors, pigments and thickeners and has almost no nutritional value. Pudding not only has high nutritional value, but also has high protein and fat content. The calories of pudding are about 170 kcal per 100 grams, which is more than twice that of jelly. Therefore, the calories of pudding are still very high. However, many puddings on the market are solidified with gelatinous substances, which not only taste bad, but also have much lower nutritional value.

Eating more will make you fat

If you eat pudding in small amounts, the calories are not high. However, if you eat it every day and eat a lot each time, there is a high chance that you will gain weight, because it is not only high in calories, but also high in fat and protein. If you are afraid of getting fat, it is best to eat less. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people with high blood lipids or high blood sugar should not eat pudding, otherwise it will easily aggravate their condition.

Kind tips

The reason why the pudding on the market now is very similar to jelly is that it is also made of jelly thickener, so it is opaque jelly-like. This kind of pudding is actually not authentic pudding. Its texture and taste are similar to jelly, but it is far less soft and smooth than pudding. In fact, pudding is in a paste-like state and has a strong aroma of milk. Therefore, you must pay attention to distinguish it when purchasing.

How to make blueberry pudding

Although we often hear about or eat blueberry-flavored desserts in our daily life, have you ever eaten blueberry pudding? Or do you know how to make blueberry pudding? In fact, the method of making blueberry pudding is not as complicated as you think. On the contrary, the method of making blueberry pudding is actually very simple. You only need to watch it once to know how to make it.

Material preparation

250g pure milk, appropriate amount of blueberries, a spoonful of blueberry jam, and 8g gelatin sheets.

Steps

Step 1: Wash the fresh blueberries and place them in a bowl. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly. The remaining parts should be edible directly without any impurities, otherwise it will be difficult to handle later.

Step 2: Soak the gelatin sheets in a small amount of cold water for about 15 minutes, then heat them in 60-70 degrees Celsius water until they are completely melted and set aside.

Step 3: Put 250g of pure milk into a milk pot, then add a spoonful of blueberry jam, stir well, and heat over low heat to mix thoroughly, but do not boil, just warm. Then add the dissolved gelatin sheets and stir well.

Step 4: Add some fresh blueberries to the milk mixture, stir it, and then put it in the refrigerator. After about 3-4 hours, you can take it out and eat it directly. However, you can also put a few blueberries on the surface as decoration.

Production tips

Gelatin sheets can be heated and dissolved in advance, or you can put them into the milk while it is still warm and stir to dissolve. Remember not to boil the milk and the gelatin sheets, as that will cause the milk to foam and the gelatin sheets to be difficult to solidify, greatly affecting the taste. In addition, since blueberry jam itself is sweet, no white sugar is added, but if you think it is not sweet enough, you can add a little white sugar to taste it.
