Ingredients
  

  • Buffalo milk or whole milk
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

Select High-Quality Milk:

  • For the best results, opt for buffalo milk, known for its higher milk fat content. If buffalo milk is unavailable, whole milk can be used as an alternative.

Steam the Milk:

  • Pour the selected milk into a heatproof bowl.
  • Place the bowl in a steamer and steam over high heat for approximately 15 minutes, starting the timer from when the water begins to boil, until the milk is heated through.

Allow the Milk to Cool:

  • Once steamed, remove the bowl from the steamer and allow the milk to cool completely. During cooling, a delicate layer of milk skin will form on the surface, adding to the allure of the dessert.

Tease the Milk Skin:

  • Using a toothpick, gently tease the edge of the milk skin to separate it from the sides of the bowl. Pour out the milk along the edge of the bowl, leaving behind a small amount of milk.
  • This step ensures that the milk skin remains intact for the final presentation.

Prepare the Egg White Mixture:

  • In a separate bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar, stirring until well blended.

Incorporate the Egg White Mixture:

  • Pour the egg white mixture into the cooled milk, stirring gently to combine. For a smoother texture, the mixture can be sieved to remove any lumps.
  • Pour the mixture of egg whites and milk along the edge of the bowl into the bowl containing the milk skin.

Steam Again:

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent condensation from dripping onto the surface.
  • Return the bowl to the steamer and steam over high heat for an additional 20 minutes. The pudding is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center does not fall down.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Once steamed, remove the Double Skin Milk from the steamer and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Serve the Double Skin Milk on its own or garnished with your favorite toppings, such as sweet red beans, fresh mango chunks, or Oreo cookies, for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Refrigerating it enhances the taste even more.
