Yield Serves 6–8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Total Cost $12
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup loose-leaf Thai tea (cha-yen)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (6-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided in half
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Use butter wrapper to grease an 8-inch loaf pan, 8-inch square cake pan, or 8-inch round cake pan.
  • 2. Brew tea with 3/4 cup boiling water, covered, for 10 minutes. Strain tea leaves and discard. In a mixing bowl, combine butter and freshly brewed tea until butter is completely melted. Whisk vanilla, half of the sweetened condensed milk, and the eggs. Mixture should be bright orange and very creamy. Gently stir in salt, flour, and baking powder. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for 20 minutes.
  • 3. While cake cools, make the glaze. Whisk together remaining sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar until a thick, creamy mixture forms.
  • 4. To serve cake, run a knife along the edge of the cooled cake to gently loosen it from its pan. Turn cake out onto a plate and drizzle glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides of the cake.
  • 5. Cake can either be served immediately or chilled and served cold.

THAI TEA PUDDING WITH LIME CARAMEL AND CANDIED CASHEWS



Thai Tea Pudding with Lime Caramel and Candied Cashews image

On the streets of Thailand, where the temperature sometimes soars over 100°, there's nothing more refreshing than a plastic bag of Thai tea! Since most of the tea shops don't have seating, the Thai people take their sweetened iced tea "to go" in a plastic bag with a straw sticking out of it. The flavors of these teas were the inspiration for this dessert. The thing that makes this dish so special is the lime in the caramel, which adds an unusual tang to the sweetness. Another bonus is the crunch and spice of the cashews that are sprinkled over the top of the pudding, adding a wonderful surprise.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 quart half-and-half
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dried Thai tea mix*
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Lime Caramel
Candied Cashews
Lime Whipped Cream

Steps:

  • Whisk the milk, eggs, and cornstarch together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Combine the half-and-half, sugar, Thai tea mix, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, and then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
  • Wash the saucepan and then return it to the stove. Pour the tea-egg mixture back into the pan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan so that the ingredients don't stick and burn, until the mixture is noticeably thicker, 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the pudding into 6 dessert cups. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve topped with the lime caramel, candied cashews, and lime whipped cream.
