  • 1 cup heavy cream Adds richness and smoothness.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Sweetens the pudding perfectly.
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch Helps thicken the mixture for that perfect pudding consistency.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor with its warm notes.
  • 1/4 cup cherry blossom petals These give the pudding its unique floral flavor and lovely color.
  • 1/2 cup water Used for dissolving the agar-agar if you choose to use it.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  5. Step 5: Incorporate the agar-agar mixture into the milk mixture, stirring well to combine.
  6. Step 6: Pour the pudding into serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature.
  7. Step 7: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Patience is key here!
