Rainbow Dessert

As Eid ul Fitr (Meethi Eid) is coming in a week or so, I thought of sharing this colorful & different dessert, innovated by me n my hubby :P So get readyy!! Fill this eid with colors of joy & taste!! Due to different layers n diversity of colors, we named it rainbow dessert/ pudding.

It is bit time taking, but worth serving!!

Lets move on to the recipe. It has 6 main layers:

1. Caramel Pudding
2. Nuts
3. Green Jelly
4. Pink Custard, Cake & Nuts
5. Orange Jelly
6. Coconut

1. Ingredients for Caramel Pudding Layer:


Milk                                                                 2 cups
Caramel Pudding                                             1 Packet

Procedure:

Bring milk to boil & empty the contents of caramel pudding into the boiling milk while stirring. Cook for about 1-2 minutes acc to the packet instructions. Pour the pudding into the dish (preferably rectangular/ square) and allow it to set for 45 minutes at room temperature.

2. Nuts layer:

Chop some nuts preferably almonds & spread around all corners of dish. They will be visible from outside the glass dish <3

3. Ingredients for Jelly Layer:

Water                                                               1 cup
Jelly                                                                 1 Packet

Procedure:

Boil the jelly powder in 1 cup of water instead of 2 cups, contrary to as mentioned on packet. 1 cup will result in an awesome set jelly. Pour it on the pudding & nuts layer, and let it set. Caution : donot pour the hot jelly at one place...instead use a spoon to evenly spread over the pudding. otherwise the surface of pudding that is well set will get damaged.

4. Ingredients for Custard, nuts & Cake Layer:

Custard powder                                               2 tbsp. - Pink
Sugar                                                               4 tbsp.
Green Cardamom                                            2
Milk                                                                 2 and 1/2 cups
Plain cake                                                         8-10 pc
Crushed nuts                                                     Few

Procedure:

 Add 2 tbsp of pink custard powder in half cup milk and make a paste. Then add 4 tbsp of sugar & 2 green cardamom pods in 2 cups of milk and bring to boil. Add custard paste to boiling milk and cook while stirring until texture is thick and smooth. Let it cool.

Then place layers of cake on the set jelly & pour custard on it. Garnish with crushed nuts (Almonds, Pistachios & Raisins) & let it cool.

5. Ingredients for another Jelly Layer:

Water                                                               1 cup
Jelly                                                                 1 Packet

Procedure:

Boil the jelly powder in 1 cup of water instead of 2 cups, opposite to as mentioned on packet. 1 cup will result in an awesome set jelly. Pour it on the pudding & nuts layer, and let it set. Use color of the jelly that contrasts to the one you used in above layer.

6. Garnish with grated coconut!!
