THAI TEA PUDDING WITH LIME CARAMEL AND CANDIED CASHEWS



Thai Tea Pudding with Lime Caramel and Candied Cashews image

On the streets of Thailand, where the temperature sometimes soars over 100°, there's nothing more refreshing than a plastic bag of Thai tea! Since most of the tea shops don't have seating, the Thai people take their sweetened iced tea "to go" in a plastic bag with a straw sticking out of it. The flavors of these teas were the inspiration for this dessert. The thing that makes this dish so special is the lime in the caramel, which adds an unusual tang to the sweetness. Another bonus is the crunch and spice of the cashews that are sprinkled over the top of the pudding, adding a wonderful surprise.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 quart half-and-half
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dried Thai tea mix*
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Lime Caramel
Candied Cashews
Lime Whipped Cream

Steps:

  • Whisk the milk, eggs, and cornstarch together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Combine the half-and-half, sugar, Thai tea mix, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, and then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
  • Wash the saucepan and then return it to the stove. Pour the tea-egg mixture back into the pan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan so that the ingredients don't stick and burn, until the mixture is noticeably thicker, 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the pudding into 6 dessert cups. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve topped with the lime caramel, candied cashews, and lime whipped cream.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon vegetable oil for brushing, or as needed
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup light coconut milk
¼ cup powdered Thai tea
⅓ cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut extract
2 eggs, separated
1 pinch cream of tartar
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease insides of four 6-ounce ramekins; lightly dust with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
  • Place coconut milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Heat until edges start to bubble, about 5 minutes. Whisk in Thai tea powder. Cook, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  • Strain coconut milk into a separate bowl through a fine sieve or cheesecloth; whisk in sucralose sweetener, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
  • Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Whisk egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar together in a separate bowl. Add coconut milk mixture, flour, and salt. Whisk until batter is evenly mixed. Fold in egg whites until smooth. Ladle the batter into the prepared ramekins. Set ramekins on a baking pan. Pour boiling water into the pan to reach halfway up the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned and cakes pull way from the edges of the ramekins, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool until set, at least 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cakes with a sharp knife; invert onto small plates.
