Mousse Pudding with Stewed Pineapple and Praline

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Though we celebrated, I didn’t cook much this time…I outsourced everything for a change :)The only thing I made was mousse pudding with stewed pineapple and praline. Mousse pudding is nothing but china grass pudding, it’s very basic stuff and easy to make. I’ve posted the recipe of mousse pudding in the initial days of my blogging and I wasn’t able to put the picture that time. Moreover I used to have it without pineapple those days, so am just publishing the modified version.

You can see the mousse pudding recipe here.

For the base:

Pineapple – 2 medium chopped

Sugar – 1 cup

Cook the chopped pineapple with sugar, till the juice is completely dried and the pineapple is coated well with sugar. Let it cool. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

For the topping:

Cashew nuts – 10 – 15

Sugar – 2-3 tbsp

Melt sugar in a bottom heavy pan. Once the sugar is completely melted and becomes golden brown in colour add the cashewnuts. Switch off the gas and stir the cashew nuts so that it is coated well with the caramel. Transfer the nuts to aluminium foil or butter paper. Once it is cooled, crush it with rolling pin and later grind it coarsely.

Serving suggestion: Spread the stewed pineapple as the base layer, moose pudding as the middle and praline as the top layer.

      Hi Neemol

      Thanks for trying out the recipe. Sorry for the delayed reply, I was in India for my vacation,thats why.

      Regarding the texture of the pudding, am not very sure why it became thick, may be the china grass was not melted completely. Anyways let me check whether there could be any other reason and will let you know.

      Take care

    hi maria ….
    i’m searching for china grass but nt been able to it newhr …can u plzz help me …whr wud i find it in india ……

      Hi Meghna

      I think china grass should be available in all major supermarkets. You may also get it in powder form. Where exactly are you in India?

      If in case you cant find any, you can make this pudding with gelatin too.

      Hope you could find it soon.

      Cheers

      Hi Rachel,

      I think it will come to 2.5- 3 cups (approx) of chopped pineapple.

      Hope you will like this pudding. Please share your feedback, if you happen to try it.

      Hi Jaz,

      You are welcome! Great to know that the pudding worked out well for you. Ground peanut bar sounds interesting, I like peanut flavour. Next time, I’ll try it and see :)

    Hi,

    very nice blog..
    most of the recipes reminds me of my moms.. and it tastes too..

    all the best..

      Hi Sminu,

      Thanks a lot for trying the recipes from here. It happened to me sometimes that the pudding didnt set, when I used agar agar (china grass) and I figured out lately, that it’s because I used agar agar which was nearing expiry…

      Hope it comes out perfect next time :)

      Cheers
