Pudding, in general, uses egg in its basic mixture. However, there are countless recipes, which do not use egg. They are moist and tasty, and make ideal dessert items for those who are vegetarians and vegans. I have put together 5 such recipes here. These recipes are prepared by using various ingredients, such as chocolate, mango etc. The simple recipes have used Marie biscuit for the pudding. Each recipe is versatile in its own way. These recipes offer you the flexibility to mix in ingredients of your choice to manipulate the flavor to meet your needs.

If you have invited some guests for lunch and you have hardly 3 hours left with you, then this one is the right dessert to serve them. All you need is a few slices of bread, milk, and sugar, and of course a handful of nuts and raisins. While you can serve this warm, it tastes best when served cold after refrigerating it for about 2 hours.

Ingredients:

  1. Bread – 8 slices [I use whole wheat/multigrain bread; milk bread would be a tastier choice]
  2. Full cream milk – 1 ½ cups
  3. Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
  4. Sugar – ¾ cup + 3 tbsp
  5. Butter – 1 tbsp, unsalted

 Directions:

  1. Crumble the bread slices roughly, mix with ¾ cup sugar, vanilla, and milk. Using a masher, mix well until it gets a creamy consistency.
  2. Add 3 tbsp sugar with 1 tbsp butter in a pan and place it on medium to high heat.
  3. Without stirring, heat the pan, and allow the sugar to melt and turn golden.
  4. Transfer the caramel into an oven safe soufflé dish and fill the dish with the bread mixture.
  5. Using a fork, prick the pudding mixture, cover with an aluminum wrap and steam for 25 minutes on low to medium flame.
  6. Take out and allow the mixture to come down to room temperature.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving with additional caramel sauce. 

4. Eggless Mango Pudding:

Ripe, golden mangoes are mouthwatering. And, when they take the form of pudding, they become even more tempting. Top it up with caramelized nuts and serve it cold. Use the ripest of the mangoes available. While my call will be fresh and ripe Alphonso, you can even use dried mangoes available in the supermarkets to make the same.

Ingredients:

  1. Ripe alphonso mangoes – 3, peeled, finely chopped
  2. Milk – 1 ½ cup, boiled and reduced to half, cooled
  3. Vanilla flavored custard powder – 4 ½ tbsp
  4. Sugar – 1/3 cup, powdered [You can adjust as per your taste]
  5. Mango or vanilla essence – a drop 

For Caramelized Nuts: 

  1. Cashews – 15, roasted, roughly crushed
  2. Sugar – 4 tbsp
  3. Butter – 2 tsp

Directions:

  1. Add mangoes to a blender to make a smooth puree.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the pureed mangoes, custard powder, milk, powdered sugar, and essence and mix well.
  3. Place this mixture on low to medium flame in a thick bottomed vessel. Boil the mixture for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens and turns smooth.
  4. Take off from the heat and keep aside until cool.
  5. Once warm, transfer to small cups and refrigerate.
  6. For caramelized nuts, add sugar and butter to a non-stick pan and place on medium heat. Without stirring, let sugar and butter melt slowly. Wait until the sugar completely melts and turns golden.
  7. Add roasted, crushed nuts and mix well.
  8. Take out the cooling pudding, top with the nut mixture, and keep back in the refrigerator for cooling.
  9. Serve cold. 

5. Creamy Rice Pudding:

Indians love kheer. And this one is a variation of our own kheer! This one comes with the flavors of cinnamon and vanilla essence. You can prepare it in your own way or as per the recipe mentioned below.

Ingredients:

  2. Full cream milk – 4 cups
  3. Sugar – ½ cup

  3. Lower the flame and add soaked rice to the milk.
  4. Turn the flame to high and let the mixture come to a boil.
