Servings: 4
Calories: 748kcal
Ingredients
- 200 g vermicelli noodles about 2 cups
- 20 maraschino cherries roughly chopped (more if desired)
- Desired amount of currants approximately ¼ cup
- 4 tbsp salted butter ½ stick
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond essence
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 3 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup condensed milk if desired
Instructions
- Melt butter in a deep pot over low heat. Add vermicelli noodles and toast until some noodles turn brown, about 3-4 minutes. Be attentive as this process occurs quickly.
- Once some noodles are browned, add water, whole milk, extracts, and spices to the pot.
- Keeping the stove on low heat, let the noodles simmer in the milk until they begin to soften. Then, add the evaporated milk, cherries, and currants. Boil for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens. If it hasn't thickened yet, continue cooking until it resembles a thick pudding.
- When the mixture coats the back of a spoon thickly without dripping, add condensed milk (if using) and stir to mix. Remove from heat and pour into a dish.
- Allow the mixture to sit out for a couple of hours to firm up, or refrigerate to speed up the firming process. Once firm, cut into slices and enjoy!
