Rich chestnut pudding

Here’s a healthy soy milk chestnut pudding.

Mix soy milk and gelatin, then heat it in the microwave.

The heat will dissolve the gelatin, so make sure it’s fully melted.

Set aside a few candied chestnuts for garnish, and blend the rest in a mixer or with an immersion blender.

If you don’t have one, a mortar and pestle will work.

Combine the soy milk and chestnuts and blend again until smooth.

Once well mixed, pour into your favorite cups and chill in the refrigerator.

If you’re short on time, let the mixture cool slightly before pouring, then use metal containers to shorten the setting time.

Top with the reserved candied chestnuts to finish.

It’s a gently sweet, healthy dessert—give it a try!
