Baden Gold Pudding

Ingredients

The Baden Gold Pudding is an adaptation of the original Platinum Pudding from Hong Kong cuisine. While the original recipe focuses on using Asian ingredients and flavors, the Baden version incorporates the essence of Baden cuisine. The Baden Gold Pudding replaces the traditional Asian ingredients with European ones, such as fresh cream and Baden's famous Black Forest cherry liqueur. This adaptation adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the dish, while still maintaining the creamy and smooth texture of the original.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Fresh cream — Use high-quality fresh cream with a high fat content for a rich and creamy texture.
• Baden Black Forest cherry liqueur — If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the cherry liqueur or substitute it with cherry juice for a milder flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• To prevent the pudding from forming a skin while cooling, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of each pudding.
• For a more intense cherry flavor, you can add a few chopped cherries to the pudding mixture before baking.
• Serve the Baden Gold Pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh cherry on top for an extra touch of elegance.

Serve the Baden Gold Pudding chilled in individual serving dishes or ramekins. For an elegant presentation, garnish each pudding with a sprinkle of grated chocolate and a fresh cherry on top. Pair it with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of Baden wine for a perfect ending to a meal.
