Instructions
-
Preparing the snow fungus
- Soak the dried snow fungus overnight in clean water to rehydrate it.
- In a pot of 300ml worth of boiling water, boil the snow fungus for about 2 minutes to soften it.
- After 2 minutes, strain the snow fungus and set aside.
-
Preparing the almonds
- In a blender add 50g of the almond slivers and 100ml water. Blend the almonds to extract the almond milk.
- To the blender, add another 200ml water. Blend for another minute. This makes the almonds easier to strain.
- Using a sieve, strain the almond milk to remove any lumps.
- Wash the blender to remove any almond residue.
-
Preparing the almond pudding
- Into the blender, add the strained almond milk and the snow fungus.
- Blend for 2 minutes.
- Pour out about 100ml of the almond milk into a bowl. Add the corn starch and whisk to combine until there are no lumps. Set aside.
- Into a pot on medium-low heat, pour the rest of the almond milk.
- Add the cooking cream and rock sugar to the pot. Stir to combine and make sure the rock sugar melts down completely.
- After the rock sugar has melted, add the corn starch mixture to the pot, a little at a time, stirring to combine.
- Add the 0.5g salt.
- The almond mixture will start to thicken. It is fully cooked when you no longer see bubbles coming up to the surface.
- Chop up the remainder 10g of almond slivers.
- Add 5g of the chopped almonds to the pot. Stir to combine
| You may substitute cooking cream with coconut milk.
| You may substitute rock sugar with granulated white sugar.

Setting the almond pudding
- In a baking tray, spread out the goji berries into an even layer at the bottom of the tray.
- Add the remainder of the chopped almonds to the bottom of the baking tray. This adds texture to the pudding.
- Pour in the almond mixture into the tray. Use a spatula to make sure the surface is as even as possible.
- Cover the surface of the almond mixture with plastic wrap. Pat the plastic wrap gently onto the surface of the almond mixture. This ensures the pudding does not develop a skin as it sets.
- Put the baking tray in the fridge to set for a minimum of 2 hours. If you have time, let it set for 3 hours or more.
