Two pumpkin puddings I found at 7-ELEVEN. I ate and compared "rich pumpkin pudding" and "Andeiko pudding that looks like pumpkin". What is more "pumpkin-like" ...?
Rich pumpkin pudding
Pumpkin pudding topped with whipped cream. Caramel sauce is combined. The price is 199 yen (tax included).Super pumpkin from the first bite! There is a rough fibrous texture in the softness, and it is like eating pumpkin paste. The mellow cream goes well with the mild sweetness.
Caramel sauce appears from the bottom as you continue to eat. It is a smooth liquid, and the bitter taste adds an accent without disturbing the texture of the pudding.
Pumpkin-like pudding
Pudding using Ebisu pumpkin from Hokkaido. It is slowly baked in a steam oven. The price is 138 yen (tax included).Sticky and heavy texture. A creamy taste with the rich sweetness of shrimp pumpkin and the richness of milk and eggs. You can enjoy the flavor of pumpkin with a simple structure without toppings or caramel.
Both were delicious, but the one that I felt was closer to the real pumpkin in terms of taste and texture was the "rich pumpkin pudding." It was as rich as the name. Of course, "pumpkin-like pudding" is also of high quality. I think there are some tastes, so please try and compare them!
