About Carrageen Moss Pudding
Mrs Allen's carrageen moss pudding is a Ballymaloe speciality served from the house's dessert trolley. Carrageen moss sets a soft milk pudding flavoured with vanilla and a little sugar.
The warm milk mixture is strained into egg yolk, while whisked egg white forms a distinct fluffy layer on top. The pudding sets in a serving dish or individual glasses.
It is served chilled with softly whipped cream and dark muscovado sugar. Ballymaloe also offers a seasonal fruit compote alongside the delicate pudding, adding another accompaniment to the milk and vanilla base.
