This recipe is perfect not only for dessert but also as a sweet snack for kids. It is simple, healthy, and full of flavor. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 200 g arpacas
- 400 g sweet cheese (preferably cow's milk)
- 200 g raisins
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 sweet apples (preferably Golden or Fuji)
- 1 cup milk
- Zest of ½ lemon
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons fructose (or sugar, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon rum essence
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- A little butter for greasing
Preparation:
1. Cleaning and boiling the arpacas
Start by cleaning the arpacas of impurities and washing them well. It is essential to rinse them in at least 6 waters to remove any residues. Once cleaned, boil them in a pot with water. Use 8 times more water than arpacas (for example, for 200 g arpacas, use 1.6 liters of water). In this water, add a teaspoon of rum essence. Boil the arpacas on low heat for 40-60 minutes, without stirring, until they bloom and become slightly crumbly when pressed between your fingers.
2. Preparing the raisins
In the meantime, rinse the raisins under cold running water. Place them in a bowl with milk to soak, which will make them juicier and more flavorful in the pudding.
3. Preparing the baked apples
Peel the apples and cut them into cubes of about 1 cm. Place them in a baking dish, sprinkle a little cinnamon and fructose on top, and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes or until soft.
4. Mixing the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk the 4 eggs well with a whisk. Add 2 tablespoons of fructose, lemon zest, and vanilla essence. Mash the sweet cheese with a fork and gradually incorporate it into the egg mixture. Then, add half of the quantity of raisins soaked in milk and gently mix until the composition is homogeneous.
5. Combining the ingredients
Once the arpacas are boiled, drain the excess water. Mix the arpacas with 2 tablespoons of fructose, rum essence, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and the remaining raisins. Add the baked apple pieces and mix carefully.
6. Assembling the pudding
In the baking dish where you baked the apples, grease it with a little butter. Place a layer of arpacas with baked apples, followed by a layer of sweet cheese with eggs. Cover everything evenly.
7. Baking
Put the pudding in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the surface becomes golden and the eggs set.
8. Serving
Let the pudding cool slightly before cutting it into slices. It can be served warm or at room temperature, perfect to enjoy alongside a fragrant tea or a glass of cold milk.
Useful tips:
- If you want to enhance the flavor of the pudding, you can add chopped nuts or almonds to the arpacas mixture.
- Replace fructose with honey or sugar, depending on personal preferences.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator and consumed in the following days, becoming even tastier as the flavors meld.
Nutritional benefits:
Arpacas is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthy choice for a sweet meal. The sweet cheese adds protein, while the apples and raisins provide antioxidants and healthy carbohydrates, contributing to a balanced diet.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of grain instead of arpacas?
Yes, you can try using quinoa or rice, but the cooking time will vary.
2. How can I make the pudding healthier?
Reduce the amount of sugar and use low-fat cheese. Also, add more fresh fruits.
3. What other flavors can I add?
Cinnamon is classic, but you can also try ginger or nutmeg for a different note.
