A creamy and subtly flavored pudding made from dried carrageen moss, milk, and sugar, often enjoyed as a comforting dessert.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 ounce dried carrageen moss
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the carrageen moss thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed carrageen moss and milk.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the moss has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing down on the moss to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
  7. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until dissolved.
  8. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.

Notes

  • For a richer pudding, use whole milk or add a splash of cream.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
  • Serve chilled, optionally with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of fruit compote.
