Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup assorted fruits (tangerines, kiwi, persimmon, grapefruit, apple, banana, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Milk and Dairy Products:
- 350 milliliters (11.8 fluid ounces) milk
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) condensed milk
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) sour cream or yogurt
Thickening and Garnish:
- 8 grams (0.28 ounces) agar-agar
- 50 milliliters (1.69 fluid ounces) water
- Optional garnish: biscuits
- Optional garnish: chopped almonds
- Optional garnish: caramel
Instructions
- Meticulously wash and prepare all fruits, cutting them into uniform small cubes. For oxidation-prone fruits like apples and bananas, immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice to maintain their pristine appearance.
- Activate the agar-agar by gently dissolving it in lukewarm water, allowing the mixture to rest and bloom for approximately 15-20 minutes until fully integrated.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, gradually combine milk and condensed milk over medium heat. Maintain a gentle simmer, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
- Incorporate the pre-soaked agar-agar mixture into the warming dairy blend, continuously whisking to ensure smooth integration. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid achieves a uniform consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and delicately fold in sour cream or yogurt, creating a luxurious, creamy texture.
- Swiftly introduce the prepared fruit pieces into the warm milk mixture, ensuring thorough and even distribution throughout the liquid.
- Transfer the mixture into a spacious mold or individual serving vessels, allowing for even cooling and setting.
- Refrigerate the dessert for approximately 2 hours until completely firm and chilled.
- Optional: Enhance the presentation by garnishing with crushed biscuits, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of caramel just before serving.
Notes
- Prevent fruit discoloration by immediately coating apple and banana pieces with fresh lemon juice to maintain their vibrant appearance and prevent oxidation.
- Select ripe, sweet fruits at peak freshness for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness in the dessert.
- Experiment with dairy alternatives like coconut milk or almond milk for lactose-intolerant individuals or plant-based diet preferences.
- Enhance texture and nutritional value by incorporating chia seeds or ground nuts into the milk mixture for added protein and crunch.
