This traditional Irish pudding offers a unique textural experience, blending the natural gelling properties of carrageen moss with the bright acidity of fresh lemon and the floral sweetness of honey. The result is a light, airy dessert that sets firmly yet melts in the mouth. It is an elegant choice for dinner parties or a sophisticated weekend treat. While simple in ingredients, it requires patience to achieve the perfect gel consistency.

Description

This traditional Irish pudding offers a unique textural experience, blending the natural gelling properties of carrageen moss with the bright acidity of fresh lemon and the floral sweetness of honey. The result is a light, airy dessert that sets firmly yet melts in the mouth. It is an elegant choice for dinner parties or a sophisticated weekend treat. While simple in ingredients, it requires patience to achieve the perfect gel consistency. The natural sea flavor of the carrageen is balanced beautifully by the citrus, making it a refreshing alternative to heavy cream-based puddings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak the dried carrageen in enough hot water to cover it for 15 minutes, or until reconstituted.
  2. Drain the carrageen thoroughly, discarding the soaking water.
  3. Place the soaked carrageen in a saucepan with 600 ml of fresh water, honey, lemon juice, and lemon rind.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, discarding the solid carrageen.
  6. Allow the strained liquid to cool slightly until it is just warm to the touch.
  7. In a separate bowl, gently fold beaten egg whites and whipped cream together.
  8. Gently fold the egg and cream mixture into the cooled carrageen liquid until just combined.
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased mold and refrigerate until set.
