The walnut on top didn’t really do much, I just put it there for effect. Sapodillas are sweet and rather honey-like and have a wonderful texture, smooth on top and grainy when you bite in, and that really came through. The fruit lent a nice pinkish-brown hue to the plain vanilla pudding. Pour into serving bowls or pudding mold and chill well before serving.Īnd you know what? It was pretty nice.Next, stir in the sapodilla puree till evenly combined.Pull off heat, stir in butter and vanilla extract and combine well.Keep stirring till the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.Pour the sugar-cornstarch-salt mixture into the hot milk, a little at a time, stirring continuously till it dissolves.In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk over medium flame until small bubbles form at the edges of the pan.In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt.In a blender, combine the chopped sapodillas with a little milk and blend to a puree.2 cups milk + little more for the sapodilla puree.
CHIKOO PUDDING SKIN
3 ripe sapodillas (chikoo) de-seeded, skin removed, and cut into little chunks.I found myself a basic vanilla pudding recipe and got cracking. I had already made enough milkshakes with them.Īnd then I thought…why not try blending and turning it into a smooth pudding? I used to love chocolate and vanilla pudding as a kid, and sapodillas would add a nice grainy texture to a vanilla pudding. I had so many sapodillas I did not know what to do with them, and they bruise easily and I didn’t want them to go to waste. I tried feeding them to my son, who obliged for a week and then began to spit it out.


I decorated arrowroot biscuits with tiny pieces of sapodilla and ate them like crackers with a topping. I put them in plain cold milk and drank it up. …after I saw those beautiful rich brown pieces of sapodilla hitting the corn flakes, I had to have some. All Kellogg’s Mommy did was put stuff in a bowl and shove a spoon in.) This Kellogg’s corn flakes ad that has been airing for a while, on practically every channel, shows the wonderful, able-bodied and impeccably-dressed-for-so-early-in-the-day Kellogg’s Mommy (with a few flyaways for added effect) whipping up an amazingly awesome Kellogg’s breakfast for her husband and son…(corn flakes + bananas + walnuts for hubby, and corn flakes + chikoo or sapodilla + almonds for the son.

Even though consumers have so much access to product reviews and information today, and rely on those before making a purchase, there are still idiots like me who are swayed by a television advert and just buy.īut in the case of this advertisement, it was a bit of a reverse effect. Well, the Don Drapers of the world can rest easy as long as people like me exist. (I know, it sounds much less exciting, but in Mumbai we can get everything delivered.) You know how advertising is supposed to make you want that product, want it so bad, that you just have to get up, put on your shoes and get out the door?
