Rose Pudding Description: Rose Pudding, a delicious set pudding made with milk, rose extract, sugar, condensed milk and agar agar. Traditionally this pudding is made during Ramadan and it taste like rose milk. The pudding is completely vegetarian because the pudding is made to set using agar agar which is a vegetarian setting agent. But you can easily swap it for gelatin. Like all pudding this is made with milk, sugar and rose extract for flavouring. In addition to sugar, I like to add some sweetened condensed milk which makes the pudding mixture creamy which results in a silky china grass pudding. For flavouring the pudding I used rose milk extract which already has the pink colour and rose flavour. But you can optionally use some clear rose extract and pink food colouring.
