Chapter 327: Pudding And Milk Gelato

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

「Despite it for going to Kagura, you made such careless remarks, huh?」

「I did」

The day after we eat our shaved ice. I came to the kitchen to meet Bartolo in order to make the parfait.

「So we’re going to make ‘parfait’ this time? The one who will make those sweets will be me again.....」

「I, I’m ashamed」

I feel sorry when I see Bartolo talks like that while having a faraway look in his eyes.

Making sweets alone is fine, but when the women’s camp asks to make them on a regular basis, then it will be Bartolo who will make them.

Just like when making a lot of cookies, the sweet smell will be hanging in the air all day long.

「Well, although it is sweets, cooking is still cooking. It doesn’t matter since I can also make all kinds of foods so there’s no disadvantage for me」

「As expected from Bartolo!」

This time I need to remember the various components in ice cream like the toppings and pudding, Bartolo also said that it’s fine so let’s not say any more unnecessary things.

「Then first, we will make the ice cream that will become the requirement for parfait......I guess it’s milk gelato to be exact 」

Since I haven’t found a plant that will be the vanilla in this world, I can’t make a vanilla-flavored ice cream like the one from my previous life.

But, cold and tasty things are the safe bet, so it should be fine.

「Please prepare milk and sugar」

「Right’o」

After I said that, Bartolo quickly took out the milk from the refrigerator - which is an Ice magic tool -, and the jar of sugar from the shelf and prepare them.

In the meantime, I light the magic stove and place a frying pan on it.

「Put about one liter of milk and five tablespoons of sugar into the frying pan」

「The amount is, as usual, don’t use such a frightening amount of sugar will ya」

Well, I understand why you feel that way. You can’t really understand it when you’re eating the result, but you will realize how much sugar and butter it uses when you make it.

That’s, you will get fat if you only eat sweets. And yet, sweets have such a magical power in them that makes people eat them.

「Later you only have to reduce the flames just before it boils and wait until it boils down」

「Oh, it’s pretty simple in terms of making it」

Actually, you still need to mix all kinds of stuff in it, but this is just a simple milk gelato so that’s about it in terms of making them.

「Shall I make the pudding while waiting for them to boil then?」

「What the. You said we will only make this, didn’t you?」

Bartolo was saying something but I ignore him.

Until the milk - which is the base for the milk gelato - boils, in the meantime, we will start to make pudding next.

We only need to add four eggs to the ingredients already prepared earlier.

Pour milk and about two tablespoons of sugar into a bowl and add only the egg yolk into it.

Then use a homemade whisk made of long chopsticks to mix them all up.

「After that, you pour this into a small container」

「We have a larger container, though?」

「A pudding is small so it looks cute, and the amount is also just right」

「It feels like women will going to truly like them」

You’re absolutely right. But, there is also a romance in a large-sized pudding. I may make a bucket-sized pudding when I have the time. Though I will definitely be unable to eat it all by myself.

「Ah, I just made nine of them」

「Hahaha, then there is no reason for people to fight over them」

As I pour the mixture into the small container, it turned out that it was going to be enough for everyone in the mansion.

These kinds of things can be made quickly, but it looks like it’s going to be unlikely for there to be a pointless situation as people fight over who will eat them first, I feel relieved now.

I place another frying pan next to the milk gelato and turn on the fire under it.

Then I put the pudding mixture on the pan and put a towel on top and cover it to prevent water from leaking out.

「After it boils, you weakened the flames and I guess you continue to steam it. I will watch over the pudding, so Bartolo should watch over the milk gelato now」

「Ou」

I look after the pudding while Bartolo will look after the milk gelato.

That one looks like it boils down nicely, and Bartolo seems to simmer the milk gelato while stirring it with a spatula after lowering the heat.

And after ten minutes, the liquid pudding boils so I lowered the heat.

Later I just need to steam it for another ten minutes like this and put it into the refrigerator.

「It’s thickening when you simmer it properly」

Looking at Bartolo’s frying pan, the milk has decreased to around half and it appears to be thickening.

「Then, you also have to just let that cool down after this」

I change the bowl of boiled down milk and then cool it down in the refrigerator.

I can just use Ice magic to cool it down immediately but, I’m not in that much of a hurry.

「Al, there’s still some left on the frying pan, is this okay?」

「They are called condensed milk, and they can be turned into sweet syrup so I thought I’m going to save them for later」

Right, when you mix sugar and milk and then boil them down it will become condensed milk.

Just this alone will revolutionize shaved ice from now on.

「Hooh, let me taste it a bit」

Saying that, Bartolo scoop some condensed milk with a spoon and taste it.

「……hoh, it tastes like thickened and sweetened milk. I prefer this to butter」

「Yeahー, the smell is also milder and it tastes better」

The smell of butter can also stimulate one’s appetite so it’s not a bad ingredient in itself, but for those who don’t like sweet foods that much, condensed milk would be easier to take for them.

「Okay then, now we just have to wait for them to cool down」

I kill some time while thinking about the makeup of parfait.

「Ohー, it solidified nicely」

And when I try to open the refrigerator and look inside, I saw the pudding in the container had properly solidified.

「So it will be finished if we add caramel sauce to this?」

「Un, pudding alone is tasty, but it will be tastier if you add that kind of sweet sauce」

「They already use more eggs and sugar than usual already, to think you would have to add more sweet sauce......just how deep is the study of sweets」

「It’s due to this, that sweets have the power to completely capture people’s hearts 」

I checked the milk gelato while exchanging comments like that.

「Oh, this one has also solidified. Does it mean this ‘milk gelato’ is completed?」

「It’s true that eating it like that is already tasty, but milk gelato will be smoother if you mix and cool it down two or three more times」

「Houー, is that so」

Taking the bowl from the refrigerator, I put a spoon inside and start stirring it.

The half-solid milk gelato is starting to mix together while making crunchy sounds.

「Can I try it?」

「Sure」

Each of us scoops some of it and tasted the milk gelato before it was finished.

When I chewed it inside my mouth, a pleasant crunching sound comes out, and the taste of sweet milk melts under my tongue. The taste and flavors may be weaker compared to things like vanilla ice cream, but the mellow sweetness from the milk made it very tasty.

「It’s cold and tasty. It has a gentle taste, unlike other sweets」

「That’s right. It has the mellow taste of milk」

The taste of the milk like those being sold at the supermarket in my previous life probably can’t reproduce this taste. This must be because this milk is from Koryatt village.

It has a gentle flavor that doesn’t taste too sweet or too heavy.

「After this you place this into the refrigerator again to cool it down and you can repeat the mixing process again, but it’s troublesome to do that so I’ll just use Ice magic」

「Really, your magic is so convenient, boy. You can shorten the process of cooking」

Fufufu, magic’s true value is displayed in this sort of situation.

While Bartolo looks at me enviously, I use Ice magic to chill the milk gelato.

I look over the condition of the milk gelato while making sure it won’t freeze, and after it solidified, I stir it again in the same manner with a spoon.

And after doing that process again, the milk gelator has become smoother; thus, the milk gelato is complete.
